Vomiturgy is a death metal/grindcore band from Béziers, France, active since 1996. With nearly three decades of activity, they are one of the more enduring extreme metal acts in the Languedoc underground.
Elk-based Vomitvsanctvs, their name rendered in mock-Latin black metal orthography, delivers a punishing death-thrash assault rooted in the Polish underground. Their compositions channel raw aggression and blasphemous intensity through tight, riff-driven songwriting.
Formed in Las Vegas in 2022, Von Boldt bring heavy metal to a city whose neon spectacle and underlying desert desolation make for an unexpectedly fitting backdrop for the genre. Still early in their trajectory, they're building on traditional heavy metal foundations with the kind of earnest conviction that suggests the city's outsider reputation is actually a point of pride.
Von der Spree is a progressive/doom metal/rock band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2024. Named after Berlin's Spree River, they blend progressive compositions with doom metal's weight and rock accessibility.
Portland, Oregon's Von Doom have been working the metalcore circuit since 2017, drawing on the genre's interplay between crushing breakdowns and melodic tension in a city whose scene has consistently rewarded bands that take the form seriously. They fit naturally into Portland's broad experimental metal community while keeping their aggression properly anchored.
Von Drakus is a four-piece thrash metal/crossover/hardcore band from Gießen, Hesse, Germany, active since 2009. They fuse thrash metal's speed with hardcore punk's raw energy and confrontational spirit.
Von Pey is a melodic death metal band from Cologne, Germany, active since 2004. They play melodic death metal with dual-guitar harmonies and dynamic vocal contrasts.
Von Trapp is a black metal/hardcore band from Kouvola, Finland, active since 2006. With nearly two decades of activity, they blend black metal's intensity with hardcore's confrontational energy.
