Los Angeles's Winter Reign have been evolving since 2018, moving from gothic metal's dark, orchestral drama toward progressive metal and alternative textures — a trajectory that shows a band more interested in growth than in genre allegiance. The LA environment, with its production resources and scene diversity, has clearly given them room to stretch across stylistic lines.
Power metal band from Jesi, Italy formed in 2022. Winter Tales delivers the soaring melodies and epic narratives that define power metal from the Marche region.
Heavy and doom metal band from Genoa, Italy emerging in 2024. Winter Tears channels the melancholy of the Ligurian coast into crushing heavy doom.
Black metal band from Vantaa, Finland active since 2009. Named after Finland's 1939-1940 conflict against the Soviet Union, Winter War channels that era's defiant spirit into cold, militaristic black metal.
Black metal project from England formed in 2023. Winter's Dawn channels the cold, bleak character of English winters into atmospheric black metal.
Symphonic power metal band from Genoa, Italy active since 2012. Winterage weaves orchestral grandeur into epic power metal compositions with cinematic ambition from the Ligurian capital.
Black metal and post-black metal project from Koblenz, Germany active since 2008. Winterblood balances the rawness of traditional black metal with the atmospheric expansion of post-black metal across nearly two decades of activity.
Symphonic and melodic death metal band from Vicenza, Italy active since 2015. Winterbreed fuses orchestral arrangements with melodic death metal aggression from the Veneto region.
Thrash and speed metal band from Swansea, Wales formed in 2022. Winterburn delivers high-velocity thrash and speed metal from the Welsh coast.
