German melodic death metal and metalcore band from the Herford-Bielefeld-Cologne triangle, formed in 2018. They combine melodic death metal with metalcore across multiple West German cities.
Sintra-based deathcore act active since 2015, fusing death metal's guttural extremity with metalcore's breakdown-heavy dynamics and modern production aesthetics. Their compositions alternate between blasting intensity and crushing, floor-dropping breakdowns.
Riga-based heavy/thrash metal outfit active since 2014, combining traditional heavy metal's melodic sensibility with thrash's speed and aggression. Their sound occupies the hard-hitting middle ground between classic metal anthems and thrash metal fury.
Burned Offerings is a Death/Black/Thrash Metal band from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, formed in 2018. The band released their debut EP "Glorification of Death" in 2018 and the single "Ananel" in 2020, operating independently from the underground metal scene of the Baja California border region.
Progressive death metal outfit from North Holland, formed in 2013. Their material navigates shifting tempos, unconventional song structures, and intricate instrumental interplay while maintaining the genre's essential aggression.
Heavy metal act from Ashby-de-la-Zouch flying the flag of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, formed in 2021. Their twin-guitar harmonies and galloping rhythms pay homage to the movement that shaped modern metal.
Stoner metal act from Uppsala, built on fuzzy riffage. Their compositions ride low-slung grooves through clouds of distortion, evoking the sun-baked psychedelia of the desert rock tradition.
Uncompromising death metal from Halmstad, active since 2020. Their material trades in the genre's heaviest traditions: cavernous vocals, churning guitar work, and percussion that hits with tectonic force.
Bristol-based thrash metal/metalcore act active since 2010, bridging old-school thrash's riff-driven attack with metalcore's modern dynamics and breakdown-heavy structures. Their sound draws from both traditions with aggressive conviction.
