Eindhoven-based groove metal/metalcore outfit active since 2007, combining crushing syncopated riffs with metalcore's dynamic song structures and breakdown-heavy approach. Their sound bridges pit-ready heaviness with modern extreme metal aggression.
Oslo-based doom/sludge outfit active since 2018, 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.
Burn the Mankind is a technical death metal and grindcore band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, founded by guitarist Marcos Moura, a former member of Brazilian death metal act Nephasth. The band released their debut album "To Beyond" in 2015 and followed it with the conceptual EP "Chaos Matter" in 2020 via Cianeto Discos, the latter built around the four phases of human alchemy. Their current lineup includes members with ties to several prominent Brazilian extreme metal bands.
Falun-based groove metal act active since 2016, anchoring their sound in mid-tempo, syncopated riffing designed to generate maximum physical impact. Their chunky, headbang-inducing compositions channel the spirit of Pantera and Lamb of God.
Piedmont-based black metal/noise project active since 2024, submerging their compositions in walls of static and feedback that blur the line between music and pure sonic assault. Their confrontational approach weaponizes dissonance and distortion.
Uncompromising death metal from Barlinek, active since 2014. Their material trades in the genre's heaviest traditions: cavernous vocals, churning guitar work, and percussion that hits with tectonic force.
German thrash metal band from the Hermeskeil-Trier area, formed in 2016. They deliver scorching thrash metal from the Hunsrück highlands.
Eslöv-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2012, conjuring thick clouds of fuzz-laden riffage and hypnotic, groove-driven compositions. Their sound channels the haze of 1970s proto-metal through a modern lens of distortion-worship and lysergic exploration.
Larissa-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.
