Death metal band from Freiberg, Germany formed in 2021. Warspite delivers punishing death metal from the Saxon mining town, built on crushing riffs and relentless aggression.
Progressive heavy metal band from Kiel, Germany active since 2017. Warstone pushes beyond traditional heavy metal boundaries with progressive arrangements and ambitious songwriting from northern Germany.
Brutal death metal band from Yaroslavl, Russia active since 2013. Warstrain delivers unrelenting brutality from the ancient city on the upper Volga.
Warthenas is a black metal band from Mexico City, active since at least 2002 under the name The Howl before rebranding, with themes rooted in darkness, war, blasphemy, and Satanism. The duo — Black Warth on vocals, bass, and guitars, and Aiwass on drums — released their debut demo The Devil Awaits... in 2016 through Satanic Reaper Records. The five-track release opens with an intro and moves through raw, relentless cuts like "Night of Relentless Evil" and "Denying the Worthless."
Thrash/death metal band from Thessaloniki, Greece active since 2014. Warthorn merges thrash's speed with death metal's brutality from Greece's northern metropolis.
Technical thrash metal band from Sofia, Bulgaria active since 2009. Wartime brings intricate riffing and complex arrangements to the Bulgarian thrash scene, pushing the genre's boundaries with technical precision.
WarTorn came up in Salisbury, Maryland in 2014, bringing a classic thrash metal sensibility to the Eastern Shore with genuine aggression and technical purpose. Salisbury sits outside the Baltimore-DC heavy metal axis, and the band carries the chip-on-the-shoulder energy of a scene that has to work harder for recognition. Their thrash is tight, mean, and built to last.
Black/thrash metal band from Ankara, Turkey active since 2014. Warvoid merges the raw ferocity of black metal with thrash's velocity from the Turkish capital.
