Ripping Power / Thrash Metal from Fort Worth.
Ritual Mist is a doom metal band from Turku in southwestern Finland, active since 2012. The band delivers slow, atmospheric doom metal from Finland's oldest city.
Los Angeles's Ritual Moon emerged in 2019 working the black/thrash hybrid — a style with deep roots in LA's metal history stretching back to early Slayer and the South Bay scene. Their approach layers black metal's cold atmosphere over thrash's kinetic riffing, a combination that sounds like it was built for the city's sprawling, indifferent landscape. The 'ritualmoon' Bandcamp handle reinforces a commitment to occult imagery that positions them firmly in the blackened thrash underground.
Melodic death metal band from Patras, Greece, active since 2016. Their approach channels Scandinavian-influenced melodic death metal from the Peloponnese.
Ritual of Terror is a melodic death metal band from Vesanto in central Finland, formed in 2018. The band delivers melodic death metal from the rural Finnish heartland.
Death 'n' roll band from Brașov, Romania, formed in 2024. Their approach blends death metal's heaviness with rock 'n' roll swagger from the Transylvanian city.
