Bologna-based heavy metal act active since 2014, delivering riff-driven compositions rooted in the genre's foundational traditions of power chords, soaring vocals, and galloping rhythms. Their sound carries the unmistakable stamp of classic heavy metal conviction.
Death metal outfit from Košice, formed in 2007. Their sound draws from the genre's foundational playbook of crushing riffs, blast beats, and growled vocals, executed with the conviction of dedicated extremists.
Arruda dos Vinhos-based death metal/grindcore outfit active since 2013, blasting through short, ferocious compositions that marry death metal's low-end churn with grindcore's frenetic speed. Their music operates at maximum intensity with minimal patience for subtlety.
Spanish folk/black metal band from Ondarroa in the Basque Country, formed in 2022. They weave Basque folk elements into a black metal framework, singing in Euskara.
Black metal project from Wrocław, emerging in 2025. Their compositions draw from the wellspring of second-wave Scandinavian tradition while filtering it through the cultural context of their Polish origins.
Spanish melodic death/folk metal band from Donostia-San Sebastián, formed in 2012. They blend melodic death metal with folk metal's festive spirit from the Basque coast.
German black metal band formed in 2016. They deliver raw, bestial black metal with a primal intensity.
Kraków-based experimental black/death metal entity formed in 2017, channeling Slavic folklore and demonic mythology through dissonant, avant-garde extremity. Their unorthodox approach to extreme metal draws from Poland's rich tradition of boundary-pushing black metal.
Scottish trio Biffy Clyro have evolved from angular math-rock experimentalists into one of the UK's biggest rock bands, with 'Puzzle' and 'Only Revolutions' delivering anthemic yet complex songs that dominated British festival main stages. Simon Neil's raw, emotionally charged vocals and the band's willingness to shift between intimate acoustic moments and colossal riff-driven bombast have made them a singular force in modern British rock.
