Volucrine is a melodic death/progressive metal band from Kouvola, Finland, formed in 2014. They blend the melodic depth of death metal with progressive metal's structural complexity.
Los Angeles djent pioneers Volumes helped define the progressive metalcore wave of the early 2010s with their polyrhythmic guitar work and genre-blurring incorporation of hip-hop and R&B vocal styles. Albums like 'Via' and 'No Sleep' showcased their technical chops and willingness to experiment, making them mainstays of the modern heavy music festival circuit.
Voluptas is a Prague-based experimental black metal band, formed in 2016 and influenced by the Norwegian avant-garde of the 1990s. Incorporating psychedelia, free jazz, and noise elements with a guest saxophonist, their discography spans from "Ved Rums Ende" through "Towards the Great White Nothing" to 2025's "Where Celestial Bodies Guide Not" on Sun & Moon Records.
Named after the Norse prophetic poem, Voluspaa channels Oslo's industrial metal underground with mechanized rhythms and processed vocals over dense, electronic-infused arrangements. Their dark, machine-driven sound draws from both Scandinavian metal tradition and industrial experimentation.
Bursa's Volvox plays classic heavy metal from Turkey's fourth-largest city, channeling the spirit of traditional European metal through driving riffs and powerful vocals. Their straightforward, riff-driven approach reflects the enduring appeal of classic heavy metal in the Turkish scene.
Out of Greenville, South Carolina, Volvulus have spent over a decade crafting some of the ugliest, most punishing slam death metal the Southeast has to offer. Since forming in 2010 they've refined a sound built on cavernous, bowel-shaking breakdowns and the kind of surgical brutality that defines the genre's most dedicated practitioners.
Volymian is a melodic heavy metal/hard rock band from southern Finland, formed in 2016. They play accessible, melody-driven heavy metal and hard rock.
Fredrikstad's Vombat delivers no-frills, aggressive death metal with a youthful intensity that prioritizes energy and impact over technical showmanship. Their riff-driven approach channels the raw spirit of classic Scandinavian death metal.
Vomepotro is a brutal death metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, whose origins stretch back to the mid-1990s with early demos before a firm reformation. The band's album Zombie Gore Vomit was released in 2006 through German label Obscure Domain, and their follow-up Liturgy of Dissection was put out by US label Sevared Records after being recorded in June 2008.
