Intense Black / Heavy Metal out of Texas.
Genre-bending progressive metal band from Geneva, Switzerland, fusing funky metal basslines, massive riffs, crusty punk vocals, and serious prog ambitions. Formed in 2014, they toured the USA, Europe, Asia, and Russia before releasing their sophomore album I Shall Forgive (2017), produced by Drop from Samael.
The Estigma formed in Santa Fe, Argentina in 2003 out of the hardcore punk group Última Advertencia, and their self-titled debut full-length the same year reached Europe through international distribution. Their 2007 album Los Sicarios del Negocio was produced by Flavio Cianciarulo of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, a notable crossover between Argentina's punk/metal underground and its mainstream rock world. The band returned in 2023 with the EP Si Vis Pacem…, their first new studio material in six years.
The Eventide is a heavy/power metal band from Athens, active since 2016. Their music delivers the melodic hooks and triumphant energy of power metal fused with classic heavy metal from the Greek capital.
The Ever Living is a post-metal band from London, formed in 2016. Their music builds from quiet, atmospheric passages into towering crescendos of heavy instrumentation, following the post-metal tradition of dynamic contrast and emotional intensity.
Formed in Luleå, Sweden, around 1993, The Everdawn were part of the first wave of Swedish melodic death metal, releasing the Opera of the Damned EP in 1996 and their sole full-length Poems — Burn the Past in 1997. The album drew extensively from the template established by mid-period At the Gates, balancing sharp melodic guitar work with harsh vocals and driving rhythms rooted in classic death metal. The band left only a small but noted body of work before dissolving, their lone album remaining a reference point for the depth of the Swedish melodic death metal scene beyond its most famous names.
The Evershed Effect from Suhl in Thuringia blend progressive black metal, death metal, and deathcore into a technically demanding hybrid named after a solar physics phenomenon. Active since 2013, their scientific namesake — describing spectral line shifts in sunspot observations — reflects the precision they bring to extreme metal from the Thuringian Forest.
