The band issued their debut album Temple of Greed in 2020, released through PureSteel Records and ROAR Records.
A Columbus, Ohio thrash outfit formed in 2018, Silent Home operates squarely in the pit-ready end of the genre — tightly wound riffs and a Midwest directness that trades flashiness for forward motion.
Silent Injury merges melodic death metal with metalcore from Rouen, having launched in 2025 as one of Normandy's newest heavy acts. Their debut material balances Scandinavian-style melodic leads with the rhythmic aggression of modern metalcore.

East Chicago, Indiana's Silent Knights operate in the hard rock-adjacent corner of heavy metal, a working-class Rust Belt band formed in 2019 with a no-nonsense approach to riff-forward songwriting that values groove over complexity.
