Florida-based Chariot delivers traditional heavy metal with a straightforward, no-frills approach built on crunching riffs and melodic hooks. The Sharpes outfit keeps the faith with classic American metal songwriting stripped of modern embellishment.
Youngstown's Chariot ov Wolves deal in raw, abrasive black metal soaked in the rust belt's industrial desolation. Their recordings favor primitive production and an unrelenting, hostile atmosphere.
Doom metal band from Michelstadt in the Odenwald forest, Germany, formed in 2015. They craft slow, crushing doom steeped in oppressive atmosphere from the forested hills of southern Hesse.

Atlanta's Chariots Overdrive plays heavy metal with a hard-driving swagger that reflects the Southern rock influence running through Georgia's metal underground. Their riff-forward songs carry a road-worn, anthemic energy.

Post-metal-sludge act from Glazov in the Udmurt Republic, formed in 2025. Charity Unit delivers atmospheric heaviness from the remote Ural region.
Grindcore and hardcore band from the Kempische Heuvelrug region of Belgium, formed in 2022, self-described as 'gorepunk.' Their releases 'Gourmet Meats & Anal Treats' and 'Pate d'Amour' deliver gleefully grotesque grindcore with punk attitude.
