Psychedelic stoner/doom metal band from London, England, formed in 2018 with releases including "Wooden Lungs" and their self-titled album. The band channels heavy, riff-laden stoner doom with psychedelic overtones, conjuring a hazy, head-nodding heaviness.
YUNGBLUD is the musical identity of Dominic Harrison, a Doncaster-born artist who built his reputation by fusing punk energy, alternative rock, pop hooks, and hip-hop cadence into a loud, theatrical form of youth-oriented rock. Early singles and the 2018 album 21st Century Liability framed him as a restless voice for outsiders, using jagged guitars, rapid-fire vocals, and confrontational lyrics about anxiety, identity, politics, and alienation. The Underrated Youth EP and weird! expanded the emotional range, pairing pop punk urgency with more vulnerable writing about community, queerness, mental health, and belonging. His self-titled album leaned into bigger rock production, while later material, including IDOLS, pushed toward grander, classic-rock-scaled arrangements without dropping the rebellious tone that defines his persona. YUNGBLUD's music is as much about communal release as genre purity: shouted choruses, theatrical visuals, and live shows built around connection. His work sits at the intersection of modern alternative rock and pop punk, carrying the attitude of punk into a mainstream-facing format.
Black/death metal band from Stockholm, Sweden, formed in 2019 with a misanthropic and Satanic lyrical focus. Their releases including "Misanthropic Impulse," "Satanic Fortification Overbalance," and the Swedish-language "Inverterat Korståg" showcase aggressive Swedish extreme metal.

French extreme metal band from Amiens, formed in 2023, whose evolution spans from early symphonic black metal to a later death/thrash metal approach. Named after a character from Michael Moorcock's Elric saga, the band's stylistic shift reflects a restless creative spirit within the French metal underground.
