Stoner doom act from Coimbra, formed in 2016. Their music moves at a glacial pace through layers of fuzz and psychedelic textures, inviting the listener into a trance-like state of heavy meditation.
Búldr is a solo depressive raw black metal project by Brazilian musician Gabriel Tibério, based in São Paulo and active since 2021. The project works in a lo-fi, DSBM-influenced style and has released multiple recordings including the 2023 album "Under the Silver Lake." Its discography spans 2021 through at least 2025, placing it within Brazil's active underground depressive black metal scene.
Bydgoszcz-based death/thrash metal act active since 2023, fusing death metal's guttural intensity with thrash's riff-driven velocity and rhythmic precision. Their high-energy approach delivers the heaviness of death metal married to thrash's urgent momentum.
Bülent Ceylan is a German comedian born in Mannheim in 1976, long established as one of Germany's most prominent stand-up performers through his sharp cultural satire and character work. His debut album Ich liebe Menschen (2024), released via Napalm Records, channels German-language industrial metal interspersed with collaborative tracks featuring artists ranging from Saltatio Mortis to Peter Maffay. The record addresses online hate and racism and was followed by a performance at the Wacken Open Air festival.
Emerging in 2012 from Karlstad, this death metal act channels the genre's primal aggression through tight, riff-driven compositions. Their recordings carry the unmistakable weight of classic death metal.
Tolentino (Macerata)-based doom/sludge outfit active since 2021, 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.
Olympia, Washington's C Average have been conjuring heavy and doom-laden metal since 1996, drawing on medieval and fantasy themes. They are perhaps best known for performing a live score to the 1922 silent horror film Nosferatu alongside cellist Lori Goldston at the Capitol Theater.
Melodic death-thrash act from Kamyzyak in the Astrakhan region, formed in 2018. C-300 delivers extreme metal from the remote Caspian lowlands of Russia.
Death-grind act from Bielsko-Biała, Poland, active since 2010. C-4 — named after the explosive — delivers blast-driven grindcore from southern Silesia.
