Celestial Wizard from Denver blends the occult heaviness of death metal with the anthemic grandeur of power metal and traditional heavy metal, producing a theatrical and heavy sound with equal parts brutality and melody. Colorado's high-altitude isolation lends the material a cosmic, expansive quality.
Heavy metal band from Tessenderlo, Belgium, active since 2014. They carry the torch of traditional heavy metal from the heart of Limburg, delivering classic riffs and powerful vocals in the European power metal tradition.
Melodic death-power metal band from Aix-en-Provence, France. They blend melodic death metal harmonies with power metal hooks from the Provençal heartland.
Black-doom metal project from Frankfurt, Germany, emerging in 2025. They merge the bleakness of black metal with the crushing weight of doom.
Symphonic metal band from Birmingham, England, formed in 2019. They create grand, orchestral metal from the birthplace of heavy metal.
One-man atmospheric black metal project from Vienna, founded in 2024 by the artist known as Oblivion. Their debut EP 'Fall of Dying Lights' explores cosmic isolation and celestial themes, blending icy black metal with vast, space-inspired atmospheres.
Power metal band from Seinajoki, Finland, emerging in 2025. They deliver melodic, high-energy power metal from the Ostrobothnian plains.
Cell-13 from Albuquerque combines the slow, oppressive weight of doom metal with the gritty, blues-influenced heaviness of traditional heavy metal, rooted in the Sabbathian tradition filtered through the desert Southwest. Their sound is measured and heavy, built on massive riff cycles and a smoldering atmosphere.
Cell Block Earth brings Detroit's industrial grit to groove metal, delivering heavy, syncopated riff patterns and a mechanistic rhythmic drive that reflects the city's working-class metal heritage. Their sound owes debts to Pantera and Machine Head while retaining a Motor City bluntness.
