Doom/death metal band from Donskoy, Russia active since 2010. Wishdoomdark crafts oppressive doom/death from the small Tula region town over a decade and a half of underground dedication.
Melodic heavy metal and hard rock band from Fürth, Germany formed in 2016. Wishing Well channels the accessible melodicism of classic hard rock through a heavy metal lens from the Franconian heartland.
Power and thrash metal band from Turin, Italy formed in 2016. Wishmaster blends power metal's soaring melodies with thrash's aggressive edge from the Piedmontese capital.
Wishmaster was a heavy and progressive metal band from Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo, listed in the Encyclopaedia Metallum with the 2003 demo Egypt among their known recordings. The band operated as an independent unsigned act throughout their existence and has since split up.

Black/death metal band from Świebodzice, Poland formed in 2021. Wisielec, meaning "hanged man," channels morbid darkness through a vicious black/death metal hybrid from Lower Silesia.
Gothic and industrial metal band from Perugia, Italy active since 2017. Wisteria weaves dark gothic atmospheres with industrial textures from the medieval Umbrian hilltop city.
Detroit's Witch has been running hot since 2006, fueling their thrash and speed metal with the city's industrial grit and a no-frills aggression that owes as much to early Motorhead as it does the Bay Area thrash canon. Their sound is lean and mean — fast riffs, barked vocals, zero pretense. In a city with a long history of hard music, they've kept the old-school flame lit.
