Warlago emerged from California's Inland Empire in 2021, conjuring black metal that carries the vast, sun-blasted strangeness of the Southern California interior rather than the expected Scandinavian cold. The Inland Empire occupies an odd geographic and cultural position — sprawling, overlooked, and a little unhinged — and Warlago's black metal reflects that dislocation. Raw, atmospheric, and distinctly of its place.
Thrash and death metal band from Madrid, Spain formed in 2018. Warlamb combines the speed of thrash with death metal's brutality in a ferocious dual-genre attack from the Spanish capital.
Springfield, Oregon's Warlok have been playing heavy metal since 2015 with the earnest conviction of a band that cares more about the riff than about trends. Their name is a deliberate nod to the occult and the classic metal tradition, and they deliver on that promise with guitar-driven material rooted in the fundamentals of the form. The Oregon interior produces bands that have no interest in being fashionable, and Warlok is squarely in that lineage.
Death/black metal band from Compiègne, France emerging in 2024. Warlord delivers a dual assault of death and black metal from the historic Picardy region north of Paris.
Thrash and death metal band from Birmingham, England active since 2016. Warlord U.K. channels the industrial might of the West Midlands into aggressive thrash and death metal.
Houston heavy psych/doom blending 70s rock and psychedelia into high-powered heavy rock.
Thrash metal band from Angers, France formed in 2023. Warmachine brings fresh thrash aggression to the Loire Valley with rapid riffing and relentless energy.
Black metal project from Sweden formed in 2022. Warmaker channels martial aggression through uncompromising black metal.
Death metal band from Saratov, Russia formed in 2020. Warmeat delivers visceral death metal from the Volga River city of central Russia.
El Paso thrash veterans Warmonger have been operating since 2009, building a reputation on the border city's blend of aggression and resilience. El Paso occupies its own world in the Texas metal landscape — isolated from the Austin and Dallas hubs, forging something harder and more insular — and Warmonger's thrash reflects that character. Over fifteen years, they have become a fixture in a scene that demands durability.
Black metal project from Lahti, Finland active since 2019 with a catalog spanning four releases including Battlespells, Pure Cold Impurity, and Burning Banners of the Funereal War. Warmoon Lord delivers militant, ritualistic black metal steeped in demonic and warlike imagery.
Progressive/groove metal band from Moscow, Russia active since 2014. Warmoth blends progressive complexity with groove metal's rhythmic punch from the Russian capital.
Death metal band from Manchester, England emerging in 2024. Warnerve brings fresh death metal brutality to Manchester's thriving extreme music underground.
Power metal band from Cádiz, Spain formed in 2019. Warning delivers the soaring melodies and epic compositions characteristic of power metal from the ancient port city of southern Spain.
Death metal band from Cosenza, Italy formed in 2019. Warocracy delivers visceral death metal from the Calabrian mountains of southern Italy.
