Founded in Veszprém, Hungary in 1997, Without Face fused progressive metal, Gothic metal, and thrash in a dual-vocal framework, with male and female voices sharing the narrative weight of lyrics drawn from H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, and Longfellow. Their debut Deep Inside (2000) appeared on Hammer Music Productions and was subsequently released in the US through Dark Symphonies Records, while the Earache/Elitist follow-up Astronomicon (2002) brought them to wider attention. The band folded shortly after despite interest from the label in a longer deal.

Without Warning is a New York progressive metal outfit that formed in 2016, channeling the genre's tradition of technical sophistication and expansive song structures. Their music balances intricate musicianship with an emotional weight that keeps complexity from feeling cold or academic. They occupy a space in the progressive metal world where ambition and atmosphere share equal footing.
Metalcore band from Königsee/Rudolstadt, Germany formed in 2020. Without Words delivers heavy breakdowns and aggressive vocals rooted in modern metalcore from the Thuringian Forest region.
Formed in 2020 in Chico, California, Witness My Death fuses melodic death metal's harmonic sensibility with the rawer brutality of straight death metal. Their approach leans into melody as a vehicle for grief and aggression rather than a softening agent, striking a balance that feels earned rather than commercial. Still in their early years, they represent a younger generation of West Coast death metal pushing the genre forward.
