Athens' AmongRuins forge melodic death metal with emotional depth and technical proficiency, balancing Scandinavian-influenced harmonies with Mediterranean passion. Since 2015, they've developed a sound that stands among the best of Greece's melodeath scene.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana death metal project. Walking with corpses in the capital of the Pelican State.
Washington black metal project. Nocturnal atmosphere from the Pacific Northwest.
Indianapolis groove metal project. Insectoid menace channeled through rhythmic Circle City heaviness.
Jamestown, New York deathcore and melodeath project. Piercing beauty from the southern tier of Western New York.
Portland crossover thrash outfit serving chaotic energy since 2013. Across three EPs — including a split with Slowbro — they deliver the kind of reckless, fun-first thrash that keeps the Pacific Northwest's punk-metal intersection alive and dangerous.
Amonicide was a thrash metal band from Brasília, Brazil, active from 2019 until their split-up. Hailing from the Brazilian capital — a city with a smaller but dedicated underground metal scene compared to São Paulo or Belo Horizonte — they operated as an independent act within the country's thrash tradition.
Philadelphia black metal project translating grief into sound since 2024. With two EPs in quick succession — Qualia Of Sorrow and Death In Spring — they channel the genre's emotional extremes through a distinctly literary sensibility, their Latin name meaning 'love of sorrow.'
Seattle metalcore act arriving in 2025 with the Blood On Our Hands EP. Their name — Latin for 'love conquers' — sets up an interesting tension with the brutality of their sound, emerging from a Pacific Northwest scene that continues to breed boundary-pushing heavy bands.
