Dutch black metal/punk hybrid active since 2025, smashing together d-beat aggression with tremolo-picked ferocity. Their stripped-down, confrontational approach owes as much to Discharge as to Darkthrone.
Punishing brutal death metal from Athens, formed in 2014. Guttural vocals scrape the basement of human register while churning riffs and gravity-blast percussion pummel with mechanical precision.
Forged in 2016 from Kharkiv, this black metal entity delivers uncompromising extremity built on icy tremolo riffs and relentless percussion. Their work carries the cold, misanthropic spirit that defines the genre's most devoted practitioners.
Heavy and groove metal band from Buchs, Switzerland, active since 2016. They pair classic heavy metal heft with groove metal's rhythmic weight.
Burst into Fire is a heavy metal band from Jacareí, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2019. The band debuted with the EP "Heart of Ashes" in late 2019 and released their first full-length album "Chimera" on October 29, 2021, a ten-track record that established them as part of the newer generation of Brazilian heavy metal acts.
Thrash metal band from Le Barp near Bordeaux, active since 2013. A decade-deep outfit delivering aggressive thrash rooted in the classic European tradition.
German speed/black metal band from Kaiserslautern, formed in 2017. They fuse speed metal's breakneck pace with black metal's darkened fury from the Palatinate.
Thrash and death metal band from Huy, Belgium, formed in 2024. They represent a new eruption of extreme metal aggression from the Wallonian underground.
German doom/sludge/stoner metal band from Berlin, formed in 2021. They channel gloomy sludge-doom with stoner metal's hazy riffs from the capital.
