Shadewarden deliver melodic death metal from Hyvinkaa in southern Finland, combining Scandinavian melodeath's harmonic sophistication with the protective intensity their guardian name suggests. Formed in 2024, they bring vigilant extremity to the Finnish scene.
Zhukovsky's Shadeweaver pair death and melodic death metal from the Moscow-region aerospace city since 2023. Their shadow-crafting name and aviation-testing origins channel engineered darkness into compositions of technical melody.

Shadow Cut forge blackened death metal from Helsinki, combining the atmospheric darkness of black metal with death metal's crushing weight since 2005. Their two decades make them veterans of the Finnish capital's extreme underground.
Seattle's Shadow Demon crash the gates of classic power metal with the speed and aggression of thrash, a combination they've been building since forming in 2024. The result is a band that pairs galloping melodies and soaring leads with riff-driven ferocity.
Out of Branford, Connecticut, Shadow Division have been carving a path through raw black metal since 2017, favoring the cold and abrasive over any atmospheric softening. Their Bandcamp output reflects a band committed to the stripped-down, confrontational end of the genre.
