Spanish symphonic metal band from Logroño in La Rioja, formed in 2013. They layer orchestral grandeur over heavy metal from the wine country of northern Spain.
Reykjavík-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2016, conjuring thick clouds of fuzz-laden riffage and hypnotic, groove-driven compositions. Their sound channels the haze of 1970s proto-metal through a modern lens of distortion-worship and lysergic exploration.
Cold, unrelenting black metal from Wexford, active since 2013. Their sound embodies the genre's core principles: razor-sharp tremolo picking, furious drumming, and an atmosphere thick with hostility and darkness.
French death metal band from Fécamp in Normandy, formed in 2020. They deliver dark death metal from the Channel coast of northern France.
