The Owls from Orlová blend sludge metal's crushing weight with the atmospheric expansiveness of post-black metal, creating a dense, layered sound since 2010. Hailing from the industrial Silesian coal region of the Czech Republic, their music mirrors the heavy, overcast landscapes of northeastern Moravia.
The Ox from Son Servera in Mallorca deliver progressive groove metal with the bovine strength and rhythmic power their name demands since 2013. Their Balearic island origin brings Mediterranean warmth to technically ambitious, groove-heavy compositions.
Virginia melodic death/groove metal outfit formed in 2022, blending the propulsive groove-centered riffing of American groove metal with the harmonic lead work and dynamic aggression of Scandinavian melodic death metal. A relatively new act in the mid-Atlantic underground, the band channels a homegrown approach to the crossover between these two styles.
The Paradox burst onto the rock scene with viral momentum, their debut performance video amassing hundreds of thousands of views and rapidly building a following of over 730,000 social media followers within weeks of their launch. Their explosive live debut at When We Were Young Festival confirmed the hype, showcasing a band with arena-level energy and polished, hook-driven modern rock. The Paradox represent the new era of rock bands built for the digital age while delivering the visceral impact of a traditional live act.

Evansville, Indiana death metal/grindcore outfit formed in 2016, combining the gut-punch brutality of grindcore with the riff density and darkness of death metal in the tradition of the American underground. Their Bandcamp presence keeps them rooted in the DIY extreme metal circuit.
The Path Is Clear from London craft progressive and doom metal with the directional certainty their declarative name provides since 2016. A decade of purposeful compositions navigates complex arrangements with confident vision.
An Austrian black metal solo project started in 2017 by the musician known as S.M., The Path of All Flesh released a self-titled debut album around the Winter Solstice of that year, featuring four tracks of raw, stripped-down black metal recorded and performed entirely by S.M. The project operates independently and without label affiliation.
The Pathogen from Spalding in Lincolnshire deliver thrash metal with the infectious, disease-spreading virulence their biological name demands since 2020. Their compositions spread through the Fens with contagious aggression.
