Forged between Barcelona and Oporto, Age of Steel channels the spirit of classic speed and heavy metal with an unabashed reverence for Helloween and Iron Maiden. Their self-titled EP showcases fleet-fingered riffing and soaring melodies that punch well above the weight of a band founded in 2024.
Age of Strange Cults are a Vienna-based post-metal and experimental sludge band who released their self-titled full-length in April 2024, building on an earlier EP and a 2022 practice room demo. Their sound layers slow, heavy sludge foundations with post-metal dynamics and a willingness to push into abstract experimental territory.
Age of Taurus crafts doom and heavy metal from London since 2013, their astrological name evoking the stubborn, earthbound quality of their massive riffs. Over a decade of activity has established them within the English capital's doom metal community.
Melodic death metal band from Ticino, Switzerland, formed around 2015 with a lineup featuring vocalist Mitch Age alongside guitarists Robin Bressani and Christian Perni.

Age of Woe channels death metal and crust punk from Gothenburg since 2021. Their sorrowful-epoch name drives compositions that merge extreme metal precision with punk's raw urgency from Sweden's second city.
Kunkletown, Pennsylvania death metal project. Time's ravages channeled through extremity from the Pocono foothills.
Athens' Agele emerged in 2023 with black metal that channels the collective fury suggested by their name (Greek for 'herd' or 'flock'). Their sound draws from the rich Hellenic black metal tradition while incorporating modern sensibilities.
Ageless is a death and black metal band from Davenport, Iowa. With seven releases between 2013 and 2018 — including EPs and splits — the band was a consistent presence in the Quad Cities extreme metal scene.
