Treviso-based heavy metal act active since 2009, delivering riff-driven compositions rooted in the genre's foundational traditions of power chords, soaring vocals, and galloping rhythms. Their sound carries the unmistakable stamp of classic heavy metal conviction.
German heavy/power metal band from Reichenbach, formed in 2024. They bring anthemic heavy and power metal to the scene.

Parisian heavy metal band formed in 2018, fronted by vocalist Drina Hex alongside guitarist Orco, bassist JP, and drummer Saraknyal.

Burning Dusk is a melodic death metal band from Valparaíso, Chile, originally founded in 1999 and later reconstituted around 2014. The band released the four-track EP "Shameful Angel" in May 2014 and followed it with the full-length "Scavenger of Light" in 2015, drawing on Scandinavian-influenced melodic death metal while maintaining an independent status.
Truro-based symphonic metal act active since 2018, building their sound on lush orchestral arrangements, soaring vocals, and cinematic compositions. Their music draws from the European symphonic metal tradition of epic, larger-than-life heavy music.
