Revert is a French heavy metal band formed in 2019. The band delivers traditional heavy metal from the French underground.
Sunol, California's Reverted have been pursuing no-frills death metal since 2011, operating out of the East Bay's unpretentious underground with a sound that favors density and heaviness over technical showmanship. Their approach is old-school at its core — crushing, mid-paced death metal with enough groove to keep the head moving and enough filth to satisfy death metal purists. Fifteen years of activity have sharpened their approach to a brutal point.
Revetreth is a Belarusian black metal project formed in 2019, operating in the raw and atmospheric corners of the genre. Details on the project remain sparse, reflecting an intentionally obscure presence typical of underground Eastern European black metal.
Revigator is a death/thrash metal band from Sweden, formed in 2020. Their album 'Medieval' channels a nostalgic late-80s/early-90s thrash and proto-death metal feel with influences from Slayer, Kreator, and Death while forging its own identity.
Dublin act that evolved from thrash metal origins into alternative rock territory, reflecting a creative trajectory that moved toward more accessible sonic frameworks since 2017. Their stylistic transformation demonstrates the breadth of artistic ambition within Ireland's underground.
Seattle's Reviled have been fusing black and death metal into something caustic and extreme since 2017, drawing on both traditions without fully surrendering to either. The black/death combination gives their music a fevered quality — the atmospheric menace of black metal colliding with death metal's sheer physical force — and Seattle's grey, rain-soaked environment seems like a fitting birthplace for something this unrelenting. The Bandcamp URL referencing Texas adds an intriguing wrinkle to what is otherwise a thoroughly Pacific Northwest-rooted sound.
Revilment is a thrash metal and crossover band from Madrid, Spain, formed in 2022. The band fuses thrash aggression with punk-infused crossover energy from the Madrid scene.
Revisal is a technical death metal and deathcore band from Kotka in southeastern Finland, formed in 2024. The band delivers precision brutality from the port city on the Gulf of Finland.
Power/progressive metal band from Purmerend, the Netherlands, formed in 2025. Their approach combines anthemic power metal with progressive complexity from the North Holland town.
