Omaha's Through the Stone ride the line between heavy metal muscle and stoner metal haze, delivering mid-paced riffs with a fuzz-soaked swagger that reflects the blue-collar grit of the Nebraska underground since 2015.
Funeral doom metal band from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, with lyrical themes centered on Christianity. The band contributed the track "The Kiss" to the international compilation From the Nulll Void (2003, NULLL Records), which collected funeral doom acts from around the world.
Hailing from the high-altitude isolation of Mammoth Lakes, California, Through These Gates have been forging black/death metal since 2012, combining the cold tremolo aggression of black metal with the gutting brutality of death.
Lisbon's Through Void craft doom/death metal that explores the emptiness between moments of crushing heaviness since 2024. Their name captures the vast, hollow spaces their music inhabits — compositions that balance silence and devastation in equal measure.
Through Your Silence is a melodic death metal band from Milan, active since 2008. Their contemplative name contrasts with the aggressive melodic death metal they've delivered for nearly two decades from Lombardy's capital.
Melodic death metal band from São Paulo formed in 2014, with a lineup featuring vocalist Diogo Nunes, guitarists Gui Calegari and Fabricio Fernandes, bassist Rodrigo Gagliardi, and drummer Maycon Avelino. Their debut album Days of Retribution was released on May 15, 2025, recorded at Dual Noise Studio in São Paulo; the track "Gaia" features a guest appearance by Björn 'Speed' Strid of Soilwork. The band opened for Exodus at Carioca Club in São Paulo in October 2024.
Orange County's Throwdown began in 1999 as a force in metalcore and hardcore before evolving into a groove-heavy machine influenced by Pantera-style crunch, earning a loyal following across both worlds over two decades of punishing live performances.
Vienna heavy metal band ThrowingShade draw from the classic hard rock and metal canon — reviewers have cited Metallica and Pantera as touchstones for their riff-forward, hook-driven approach. Their self-titled album includes the track "Bitch Machine" and reflects a no-frills, live-energy-first sensibility honed through regular performances at Vienna venues.
Portland's Thrown blend heavy, doom, and speed metal into a genre-crossing assault born in 2017, channeling the darkness of traditional doom against the kinetic drive of speed metal in a way that feels distinctly Pacific Northwest.
