Danish melodic death/black/thrash metal band from Copenhagen, formed in 2010. They weave together three extreme metal styles with patient, methodical precision.
Death/black/thrash metal band from Tarbes in the French Pyrenees, formed in 2019. They deliver a volatile blend of extreme metal subgenres, merging the ferocity of black and death metal with thrash-driven momentum.
The Hague-based melodic black metal project active in the underground, tempering raw aggression with sweeping arrangements and harmonized guitar leads. Their approach balances the genre's inherent hostility with moments of dark grandeur.
Since 2018, this British heavy metal act has kept the flame of traditional metal burning from Newcastle upon Tyne. Their sound is built on the genre's bedrock: powerful riffs, commanding vocals, and unwavering commitment.
Brutal death metal band from Hesdin-l'Abbe in northern France, one of the country's longer-running brutal death acts with roots stretching back to 2000. Their albums Race of Cain and In Dark Abysses of Memory plumb dark, abyssal themes through relentless sonic punishment.
Irkutsk-based metalcore act active since 2018, merging hardcore punk's confrontational energy with heavy metal's technical ambition. Their compositions trade between aggressive breakdowns and melodic passages with the dynamic range that defines the genre.
Oslo-based stoner/sludge metal outfit active since 2011, laying down thick, fuzz-caked riffs that move at a lumbering, hypnotic pace. Their sound occupies the hazy intersection where stoner metal's psychedelic warmth meets sludge's abrasive hostility.
US power metal band whose Adrenaline EP was produced by the late David Wayne (Metal Church) and engineered by Joe Floyd (Warrior). After co-founder Davey Lee passed in 2010, they released In the End on Pure Steel Records in 2020 as a tribute.
Bergen-based black/thrash metal act formed in 2004, delivering high-velocity aggression that melds Norwegian black metal's icy fury with thrash metal's riff-driven attack. Their energetic approach channels the spirit of 1980s thrash through a distinctly Scandinavian filter.
