All Damned brings metalcore from the southern port of Toulon since 2008, combining crushing breakdowns with melodic passages in the tradition of modern heavy music. Nearly two decades of activity have cemented them in the Var department's metal scene.
All Dead merges death and doom metal from Berlin since 2012. Their blunt, terminal name drives compositions that dwell in the finality of existence, channeled through the German capital's historically heavy cultural weight.
All Eyez on Me delivers deathcore from Bydgoszcz in Kujawy-Pomerania since 2014. Their Tupac-referencing name brings hip-hop bravado to the breakdown-heavy extremity of their northern Polish sound.
Lubbock, Texas metalcore project. Collapse from the dusty flatlands of West Texas.
Indianapolis thrash metal project. The name's theological finality channels divine destruction from the Circle City.
Los Angeles southern metal/metalcore hybrid blending swampy, groove-laden riffs with hardcore intensity. Feed the Pigs established their brand of whiskey-soaked aggression that splits the difference between Down and Hatebreed.
Plainfield, Connecticut melodic death metal band active since 2009 with three releases across four years. Their sound channels the Gothenburg school through a New England lens, mixing melodic leads with death metal aggression.
Asheville, North Carolina black/thrash/punk band ripping through the Blue Ridge Mountains since 2014. Four releases deep, they channel Venom and Midnight into a Southern-fried blackened speed attack with a punk rock backbone.
All Hell Within merges death and thrash metal from Sundsvall since 2015. Their internal-inferno name drives a decade of dual-genre compositions from this northern Swedish coastal city.
