Tomaszów Mazowiecki's Symbolical deliver death metal from the central Polish textile town since 2015. Their representational name and industrial-town origins channel the symbols of mortality into compositions of focused extremity.
Stockton, California act formed in 2011 that blends technical and melodic death metal, combining intricate fretwork with the harmonic sensibilities of the Gothenburg school to produce a sophisticated and aggressive sound.
Symbolizer play thrash metal from Copenhagen, channeling the genre's aggressive velocity from the Danish capital. Active since 2014, they bring symbolic fury to the Scandinavian thrash scene.
Power metal band from São Paulo founded in 1997 by Tito Falaschi and Rodrigo Arjonas; vocalist and producer Edu Falaschi, Tito's brother, joined the lineup before recording and co-fronted the band on their 1998 self-titled debut. The band released two more albums — Call to the End (2000) and Faces (2004) — before dissolving, while Edu Falaschi went on to become the lead vocalist of Angra in 2001.
Tarnowskie Góry's Symetgal deliver death metal from the Upper Silesian town since 2019. Their enigmatic name and former silver-mining origins channel subterranean mystery into compositions of focused aggression.
Heavy metal band from Pottsville, Pennsylvania, formed in 2017, rooted in traditional metal song craft and occupying a region of Pennsylvania with a long history of working-class rock and metal.
Nitra's Symfobia craft symphonic metal from the ancient Slovak city since 2015. Their symphony-phobia portmanteau channels the fear of orchestral grandeur into compositions that paradoxically embrace the very form their name fears.
Death/thrash metal band from Rome, New York, formed in 2018, fusing thrash metal's picking-hand aggression with death metal's low-end brutality and vocal extremity in the tradition of the genre's hybrid practitioners.
