The New Black is a southern/groove metal band from Würzburg, Germany, formed in 2017. They play heavy, groove-laden southern metal.
Founded in Wiesbaden, Germany in 2007 by vocalist Timmy Rough and drummer Urban Berz, The New Roses channel the hard rock tradition of the late 1980s with clear debts to AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, and Aerosmith. After adopting the name officially in 2012, the band signed to Napalm Records and achieved mainstream chart presence in Germany, with Nothing But Wild (2019) reaching number 10 and Sweet Poison (2022) reaching number 13 on the German album charts. A track from their early career was included on the German soundtrack for the TV series Sons of Anarchy. Their sixth album, Attracted to Danger, was released in 2024.
The Newborn Anger is a heavy/power metal band from Pistoia, Italy, formed in 2023. They combine power metal grandeur with traditional heavy metal muscle and energetic riffing.
The Night Before from Valladolid craft heavy metal charged with the anticipatory tension of their eve-themed name since 2017. Their Castilian heartland base provides a historically rich backdrop for traditional metal from central Spain.
The Night Eternal is a heavy metal band from Essen, Germany, formed in 2021. They play traditional heavy metal from the Ruhr Valley.
The Night Flight Orchestra was formed in 2007 in Helsingborg, Sweden by Björn Strid and David Andersson while on tour with their main band Soilwork, with bassist Sharlee D'Angelo of Arch Enemy also among the founding members. The band's aesthetic is a deliberate recreation of 1970s and 1980s AOR and classic rock, complete with lush vocal harmonies, melodic hooks, and analog production sensibilities. Seven studio albums followed from Internal Affairs (2012) through Amber Galactic (2017), Aeromantic (2020), and Give Us the Moon (2025), each reinforcing their commitment to the genre's golden-era sound. The project has become one of the most consistent and acclaimed AOR revivals in contemporary rock.
The Nightly Disease is an atmospheric black metal project from Verona, Italy, formed in 2018. They create immersive, layered black metal with rich atmospheric textures and nocturnal themes.
The Ninth Gate is a black metal band from Wales, formed in 2023. Named after the Roman Polanski occult thriller, their music channels dark, esoteric atmospheres through black metal from the Welsh underground.
Las Vegas dark rock project The Nocturnal Affair, headed by vocalist Brendan Shane and discovered by Disturbed bassist John Moyer, channels the melancholic grandeur of Type O Negative, HIM, and Nine Inch Nails into a crushing yet atmospheric modern sound. The band has toured extensively across the US, UK, and Europe, sharing stages with Fozzy, Wednesday 13, Drowning Pool, and Asking Alexandria. Their darkly cinematic songwriting, including the 2024 single 'Cross Me Out' co-written with hit-maker Johnny Andrews, positions them at the forefront of the gothic rock revival.
