Thrash/death metal band from Lecce, Italy active since 2009. Warknife brings over a decade of aggressive thrash and death metal from the heel of Italy's boot in Puglia.
Death metal band from Barysaw, Belarus formed in 2016. Warkraft delivers punishing death metal rooted in brutal riffing and relentless aggression from the Belarusian underground.
Black and death metal band from Dieppe, France active since 2004. WarKult has spent two decades forging extreme metal from the English Channel coast of Normandy.
Death metal band from Strasbourg, France active since 2017. Warkunt brings visceral death metal from the Franco-German border city on the Rhine.
Warlago emerged from California's Inland Empire in 2021, conjuring black metal that carries the vast, sun-blasted strangeness of the Southern California interior rather than the expected Scandinavian cold. The Inland Empire occupies an odd geographic and cultural position — sprawling, overlooked, and a little unhinged — and Warlago's black metal reflects that dislocation. Raw, atmospheric, and distinctly of its place.
Thrash and death metal band from Madrid, Spain formed in 2018. Warlamb combines the speed of thrash with death metal's brutality in a ferocious dual-genre attack from the Spanish capital.
Springfield, Oregon's Warlok have been playing heavy metal since 2015 with the earnest conviction of a band that cares more about the riff than about trends. Their name is a deliberate nod to the occult and the classic metal tradition, and they deliver on that promise with guitar-driven material rooted in the fundamentals of the form. The Oregon interior produces bands that have no interest in being fashionable, and Warlok is squarely in that lineage.
Death/black metal band from Compiègne, France emerging in 2024. Warlord delivers a dual assault of death and black metal from the historic Picardy region north of Paris.
Warlord is a heavy metal band from Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil, with roots stretching back to 1991, making them one of the older acts in Sergipe's underground metal scene. The band was active through the early 2000s, reformed around 2015, and has appeared on compilations including The Iguana's Attäck Vol. 3 (2020) with the tracks "Evil's Child" and "The Soldier of Flies".
