Novosibirsk's Siberius pair power and symphonic metal from Siberia's capital since 2019. Their Siberian-identity name channels the frozen grandeur of the world's largest landmass into orchestral compositions.

Sic Zone blast through death, thrash, and groove metal from Cologne, combining three aggressive genres into a versatile, hard-hitting sound. Active since 2013, they represent the Rhineland's capacity for multi-faceted extremity.
Staten Island progressive thrash/death metal act formed in 2023 that evolved toward deathcore, mapping a trajectory from technical complexity toward crushing modern heaviness — a New York City band navigating the intersection of precision and brutality.
