London-based technical death metal act active since 2019, weaving labyrinthine guitar work and shifting time signatures into their extreme metal framework. Their compositions demand both virtuosity and visceral impact, balancing cerebral complexity with gut-level heaviness.
Stoner/doom metal band from Strasbourg, founded in 2011, who have shared stages with Crowbar, Solstafir, and Planet of Zeus. Their discography spanning the 2012 Demo through Red Dirt & Zero Gravity on Sleazy Barn Records delivers heavy, groove-laden stoner doom.
Bristol-based death/thrash metal act active since 2011, fusing death metal's guttural intensity with thrash's riff-driven velocity and rhythmic precision. Their high-energy approach delivers the heaviness of death metal married to thrash's urgent momentum.
Zeeuws-Vlaanderen-based death metal act active since 2017, trafficking in the genre's essential currency of guttural vocals, down-tuned riffs, and relentless percussive punishment. Their compositions deliver uncompromising heaviness rooted in the old-school tradition.
Finnish heavy metal band from Tampere, formed in 2015. They play bulldozing heavy metal from Finland's third-largest city.

Warsaw-based thrash metal act active since 2012, delivering riff-driven aggression rooted in the genre's foundational principles of speed, precision, and relentless energy. Their material channels the spirit of 1980s thrash through a Polish filter.
Bullet Course is a doom and post-metal band from Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, formed in 2011. The band blends dissonant guitar work with themes of existential emptiness, drawing on blackgaze and experimental rock influences alongside their doom and post-metal core. They have released three albums — "Without Memories," "Into the Solitude," and "She's Looking for Flowers Under City Light" — and performed at the Eclipse Doom Festival in São Paulo.
Brindisi-based brutal death metal outfit active since 2016, delivering relentless blastbeat-driven punishment and guttural vocal extremity. Their compositions trade in the genre's heaviest currency: slamming breakdowns, inhuman vocals, and wall-to-wall brutality.
