German death metal and crust band from Berlin, formed in 2023. They merge death metal's heaviness with crust punk's raw, d-beat-driven urgency.
Savage Melodic Black / Death Metal from San Antonio.
Budapest-based doom/sludge outfit active since 2020, dragging their compositions through a swamp of distortion, feedback, and crushing tempos. Their sound sits at the punishing intersection where doom metal's patience meets sludge's confrontational aggression.
Finnish symphonic/melodic death/pagan metal band from Helsinki, formed in 2019. They layer symphonic grandeur and pagan themes over melodic death metal foundations for an epic, cinematic sound.
Thrash metal outfit from Dąbrowa Górnicza, formed in 2005. Their compositions hit with the urgent intensity that defines the genre at its best: fast, tight, and unapologetically aggressive.
Orkney-based stoner metal outfit active since 2022, channeling thick, fuzz-drenched riffs and a laid-back, groove-driven approach to heaviness. Their sound worships at the altar of the almighty riff, drawing from the deep wells of 1970s proto-metal and desert rock.
Death metal outfit from Szklarska Poręba, formed in 2020. Their sound draws from the genre's foundational playbook of crushing riffs, blast beats, and growled vocals, executed with the conviction of dedicated extremists.
Black metal project from Gothenburg, emerging in 2014. Their compositions draw from the wellspring of second-wave Scandinavian tradition while filtering it through the cultural context of their Swedish origins.
Raw black metal and punk band from Upper Austria, active since 2015, with releases including "Urkraft" and "Wo draht da Weg?" on underground labels Tour de Garde and Avant! Records. Their splits with Calvary and Häxenzijrkell mark them as a fixture of the Austrian raw black metal underground.
