Death metal band from Oberhausen, Germany formed in 2016. Went Blank delivers direct, heavy death metal from the industrial Ruhr region of western Germany.
Melodic death and groove metal band from Lahti, Finland formed in 2020. Weren fuses the melodic power of Finnish death metal with groove metal's rhythmic punch from the industrial city of southern Finland.
Bay Area heavy metal act Werewolf have been operating since 2008 in one of the most historically rich scenes for the genre in the world — Northern California's peninsula of metal royalty. They play traditional heavy metal that is unambiguous in its devotion to the form, shaped by decades of Bay Area precedent while belonging entirely to the current underground. Old blood, still running.
Symphonic and progressive metal band from Madrid, Spain formed in 2021. Wereworld weaves orchestral elements into progressive metal structures, creating cinematic compositions with ambitious scope.
Heavy Melodic Death Metal out of Texas.
Black doom art project from Weimar, Germany active since 2013, blending black metal darkness with doom metal weight across four albums including Animist, Lunar Cult Society, and Among Humans. Their self-described "Black Doom Art" approach fuses extreme metal with an artistic, atmospheric vision.
Werken are a heavy metal band from Comodoro Rivadavia in the Patagonia region of Argentina, originally formed in 2002 under the name Odisea before adopting their current name — Mapuche for "messenger" — after five years. The band released three studio albums: "Plegaria al Sur" (2010), "Jinete en la Tormenta" (2014, through Icarus Music), and "Tierra Salvaje" (November 2020, through MTM Prod. Records). Their sound draws on classic heavy metal and hard rock influences including Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, and Argentine folk music.
Wesko channels raw aggression and unapologetic attitude into a heavy rock and metal approach built on pummeling riffs and high-energy performance. With a growing social media following and a 'born to raise hell' ethos, the project delivers visceral heavy music aimed at the modern rock audience.
Minnesota's West Coast Incident formed in 2023, their name carrying an ironic geographic displacement that suits a band playing death and sludge metal far from either coast. Their hybrid of death metal's aggression and sludge metal's crawling density is well-suited to the brutal Minnesota winters that the Twin Cities underground has always converted into heavy music. Strange name, straightforward devastation.
