Black metal project from Portugal, emerging in 2017. Their compositions draw from the wellspring of second-wave Scandinavian tradition while filtering it through the cultural context of their Portuguese origins.
Zadar-based heavy metal act active since 2013, 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.
Melodic death metal and metalcore band from Royston in Hertfordshire, active since 2012. Their EPs Envisage and Life/Death merge full-throttle rhythmic patterns with ball-busting riffage, all woven together by captivating melodies and dynamic songwriting.
Trieste-based crossover thrash act active since 2015, smashing together thrash metal's riff-driven velocity with punk's stripped-down aggression and DIY ethos. Their short, sharp compositions hit with the impact of a circle pit in a phone booth.
Black Priest is a Doom Metal band from Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, formed in 2019–2020 by vocalist Vinicius Libânia, bassist Gg Neto, guitarist Raphael Ribeiro, and drummer Phil Drigues. Rooted in the classic heavy sound of Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, the band expanded into original material exploring depression, anxiety, and horror themes. They released the EP “The Soul Scar” and followed it with the full-length album “Fatal” in March 2024, a nine-track record recorded at FK Studio in Niterói.
Black Pullet is a one-person Black/Doom Metal project from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil, formed in 2023. The project released the EP “A Man of Sorrows” as a self-produced digital release, presenting a four-part work that shifts between depressive slow doom metal on the opening and closing tracks and raw atmospheric black metal in the middle, unified by an atmosphere of cold isolation and melancholy.
Cardiff black metal band formed in 2019, drawing influence from cursed grimoires, classic demonology, and the early Norwegian scene. Their prolific catalog including The Forbidden Tomes, Fall of the Northern Kingdom, and Blessed Bran Son of the Sea blends Scandinavian black metal with doom and dark ambient textures.
Apeldoorn-based death/thrash metal act active since 2013, fusing death metal's guttural intensity with thrash's riff-driven velocity and rhythmic precision. Their high-energy approach delivers the heaviness of death metal married to thrash's urgent momentum.
