Crushing old-school death metal from Houston. Cavernous, filthy, and absolutely massive.
Istanbul-based black metal act active since 2013, channeling the genre's core tenets of tremolo-driven riffing and blast-beat fury through a Turkish lens. Their recordings maintain a commitment to the raw, unvarnished aesthetic that defines underground black metal.
London-based slamming brutal death metal band active since 2007. Their split release Vomiting Putrid Blasphemy showcases four tracks of blasphemous slam with guttural vocals and crushing breakdowns.
Blast Bitch is a Buenos Aires death metal and grindcore trio featuring vocalist Constanza Liberte, drummer Arihell Ledo Agüero, and guitarist Pely Macchi. Their 2019 debut album Sociedad Manipulada — recorded at Tribal Record in Ramos Mejía — delivers 11 tracks addressing police repression, violence against women, and institutional corruption.
Punishing brutal death metal from Saint Petersburg, formed in 2024. Guttural vocals scrape the basement of human register while churning riffs and gravity-blast percussion pummel with mechanical precision.
French groove metal and metalcore band from Caen in Normandy, formed in 2023. They deliver groove-metalcore blasts from the historic D-Day coast.
Thrash metal outfit from Turin, formed in 2013. Their compositions hit with the urgent intensity that defines the genre at its best: fast, tight, and unapologetically aggressive.
German groove/thrash metal band from Berlin, formed in 2016. They deliver heavy, groove-driven thrash metal with explosive energy.
Seregno (Monza)-based melodic death metal/metalcore act active since 2013, blending Gothenburg-inspired guitar harmonies with metalcore's dynamic structures and breakdown-driven intensity. Their sound bridges the melodic death metal tradition with modern extreme metal's visceral energy.
