Rome-based thrash metal act active since 2013, delivering riff-driven aggression rooted in the genre's foundational principles of speed, precision, and relentless energy. Their material channels the spirit of 1980s thrash through a Italian filter.
German black metal band from Velbert, formed in 2024. They deliver raw black metal from the hilly Bergisches Land region near the Ruhr.
Solitary depressive black metal emanating from Bologna, formed in 2016. Their recordings strip black metal to its most emotionally exposed core, favoring repetitive, trance-like structures and vocals wracked with despair.
Birror is a crossover thrash band from Buenos Aires whose debut album Birr 'em All, released in December 2014, packed 17 tracks of punishing riff work into a single record. The band has roots in Argentina's underground crossover and hardcore scene and counts songs like "Rey de Maltas" and "Birrorman" among their early staples.
Jeff Tandy of black metal act Averse Sefira channeling D.R.I. and S.O.D. with two ex-Death of Millions members. On hold since 2017.
Punishing brutal death metal from Athens, formed in 2012. Guttural vocals scrape the basement of human register while churning riffs and gravity-blast percussion pummel with mechanical precision.
Drawing from the contemplative side of black metal, this Russian project channels Kemerovo's spirit into sweeping, atmosphere-laden compositions. Since 2017, their recordings balance raw aggression with passages of fragile, melancholic beauty.
Nitra-based melodic death metal act active since 2024, threading harmonized guitar leads and memorable hooks through aggressive, double-bass-driven arrangements. Their approach balances accessibility with genuine heaviness, drawing from the Gothenburg tradition.
German melodic black/death metal band from Bamberg, formed in 2017. They blend melodic black and death metal with heavy rock influences for a versatile, genre-crossing sound.
