Progressive metal act from Brasov with roots stretching back to 1999, making them one of Transylvania's longest-running progressive metal presences. Their quarter-century of activity speaks to the depth of Romania's ambitious metal underground.
Progressive metal band from Saarbrucken, Germany, formed in 2023. They craft intricate, dynamic compositions from the Franco-German border region.
CELESTE formed in Lyon, France in 2005, emerging from that city's hardcore punk scene and gradually fusing black metal harshness, sludge heaviness, and post-hardcore dynamics into an unrelenting and emotionally suffocating sound. The band released their debut full-length Nihiliste(s) in 2008 on Denovali Records and followed it with a series of similarly dense French-language records, before signing to Nuclear Blast for Assassine(s) in 2022. All of their albums carry stripped grammatical titles that function as singular aesthetic statements.
Black-doom-heavy metal act from The Hague, active since 2012. Celesterre crafts atmospheric, multi-faceted metal that bridges black, doom, and traditional heavy metal traditions.
Power metal band from Porvoo, Finland, formed in 2014. They deliver melodic, anthemic power metal from the historic Borgå region.
Symphonic power metal band from Valencia, Spain, formed in 2020. They create grand, orchestral metal with soaring vocals and dramatic arrangements.
Operating from the remote isolation of Kenai, Alaska, Celestial Annihilation deliver raw black metal with frostbitten, geographically appropriate desolation — thin, razor-edged production and relentless blasting.
Celestial Bifurcation is a brutal death metal band from Washington state. They deliver dense, technical riffing and extreme low-end heaviness paired with blast-driven drumming.
Death metal band from Helsinki, Finland, active since 2012. They channel death metal aggression from the Finnish capital.
