Warsaw/Piaseczno-based thrash metal act active since 2007, 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 Polish filter.
NWOBHM heavy metal band originally from London, now based in Derby, with roots in the classic New Wave of British Heavy Metal era. They carry the torch of traditional British metal with anthemic riffs and classic songwriting.
Friesland-based crossover thrash act active since 2022, 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.
German melodic death metal band from Grevenbroich, formed in 2016. They craft sharp, fire-forged melodic death metal from the Rhineland.
Blades of Steel is a heavy metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, fronted by vocalist Yara Haag. Drawing influence from Judas Priest, Accept, and Mercyful Fate, the band released a self-titled track in 2024 and subsequently signed with Alone Records of Greece for wider international distribution.
London metalcore band formed in 2017. They deliver hard-hitting, aggressive metalcore from the capital's underground heavy music scene.
Cumbrian black metal project from Manchester, active since 2009, described as primal, raw, uniquely northern black metal. Their 2009 split demo with S'GATH was written hastily, recorded drunkenly, and mixed minimally, embodying an intentionally stripped-down, authentic approach.
