Heavy metal and hard rock band from Vienna, Austria, formed in 2022. They merge classic heavy metal riffing with hard rock swagger, representing the newer wave of Vienna's traditional metal scene.
Black Veil Brides reignited glam metal theatricality for the Hot Topic generation, pairing Andy Biersack's commanding stage presence with anthemic, dual-guitar-driven metal that owes as much to Kiss and Motley Crue as it does to modern metalcore. Albums like 'Wretched and Divine' and 'Vale' cemented them as one of the most polarizing yet commercially successful rock acts of the 2010s.
Lublin-based folk metal band active since 2011, drawing on Polish and Central European musical traditions to enrich their heavy metal backbone. Their name evokes a distinctly dark aesthetic while their sound weaves folk fiddles and acoustic textures through amplified aggression.
Blasphemous Black Metal from Austin.
Spanish thrash metal band from Berja in Almería province, formed in 2016. They deliver venomous thrash metal from the arid southeast of Spain.
Black Void is a Norwegian black metal and punk project spearheaded by Lars Are Nedland, also known from Borknagar and Solefald, alongside drummer Tobias Solbakk (Ihsahn, In Vain) and guitarist Jostein Thomassen (Borknagar). Conceived as a philosophical counterpoint to Nedland's White Void project, the band released its debut album Antithesis through Nuclear Blast in May 2022, channeling fifty years of punk and forty years of Norwegian black metal through the lens of Nietzschean philosophy.
Black Void Cult is an atmospheric and melodic black metal band from Mexico City, Mexico, formed in 2017 and signed to Concreto Records. Their 2020 debut full-length Dysphoria established the band's focus on harmonic, boundary-crossing black metal that balances melody with emotional weight. They followed it with a series of singles in 2023 leading into their second album ...Even the Stars Have to Die, which explores themes of entropy and extinction through expansive, conceptual songwriting.
