Amon Rudh crafts melodic black metal from Yaroslavl on the upper Volga since 2024. Named after the lonely hill in Tolkien's Silmarillion, they bring Middle-earth geography to melodic black metal from one of Russia's Golden Ring cities.
Amon Sethis explores progressive metal from the Alpine city of Grenoble since 2009, their Egyptian-mythological name hinting at epic, conceptual compositions. Their sound channels the grandeur of the Isère valley's mountain landscape through progressive metal's structural ambitions.
Cleveland, Ohio power metal project named after the Egyptian sun god. Solar majesty through the Rock City's melodic tradition.
Los Angeles NWOTHM project. The absence of monarchy — musical rebellion through classic heavy metal.
Among Rats are an old-school death metal and grindcore band from Ohlsdorf in Upper Austria, active since 2011 with releases including the self-titled EP, Intact World (2013), Game Over (2015), and A.R. (2016). Their sound is rooted in the blunt, short-format extremity of classic grindcore, and they continue to release new material as recently as 2024.
Among the Accursed is a metalcore band from Bonn, Germany, formed in 2022, whose rapid output includes the 2022 releases Beneath My Skin and Low Spirits followed by the eleven-track 2024 album Protagonist Syndrome. The band plays modern metalcore with aggressive instrumentation and a polished approach to the genre's heavy and melodic dynamics.
Denver deathcore newcomers who debuted in 2025 with Making Sense Of Our Decay. The EP delivers the crushing breakdowns and guttural punishment the genre demands, arriving from a Colorado scene increasingly fertile for extreme music.
Tampa, Florida melodic death metal project. Walking among titans in the city that raised them.
Among the Lights creates post-black metal with shoegaze elements from an undisclosed Polish location since 2023. Their luminous name guides compositions that bathe black metal's darkness in shimmering, ethereal light.
