The Skullthrone is a black/death metal band from Campobasso, Italy, formed in 2011. They deliver fierce extreme metal combining black metal's atmospheric menace with death metal brutality from Molise.
Melodic death metal and metalcore band from Tyrol, Austria, The Sky Is Ours were active from 2006 to 2011, operating as an independent act in the regional extreme metal underground. Their music sat at the heavier, riff-driven end of the melodic death/metalcore crossover that characterized much of the mid-2000s European metal scene.
The Slaughters from Toulouse deliver heavy metal with the butchery their plural-massacre name demands since 2012. Over a decade of riff-driven slaughter from the Pink City has produced classic, no-frills metal.
Raleigh, North Carolina black metal project active since 2016, dealing in raw and uncompromising underground black metal that values atmosphere and menace over production polish. Their decade of activity has placed them firmly within the Southeast's growing underground black metal community.
The Slayerking is a gothic/doom metal band from Athens, formed in 2019. Their music merges the dark romanticism of gothic metal with the crushing weight of doom, creating a regally oppressive sound.
Portland blackened sludge and doom metal outfit formed in 2014, fusing the corrosive atmosphere of black metal with the slow, crushing heaviness of sludge and doom in a combination that the Pacific Northwest underground has proven particularly fertile ground for cultivating. Their sound is dense, dissonant, and deliberately oppressive.
The Sluagh is a symphonic progressive death metal band from Dublin, Ireland, formed in 2021. Named after the restless dead of Irish mythology, they blend death metal with symphonic orchestration and progressive complexity.
Staunton, Virginia heavy metal and hard rock band active since 2010, operating in the tradition of classic American heavy metal with a straightforward approach that values riff, groove, and the kind of songwriting clarity that has always been the backbone of the genre. Their Virginia roots put them in a state with deep heavy music history.
The Socks from Lyon deliver hard rock and stoner metal with the irreverent, mundane humor their laundry-item name demands since 2011. Over fifteen years of fuzz-drenched compositions from France's gastronomic capital, they have proven that great riffs need not come from pretentious origins.
