Bleakness were a Buenos Aires gothic metal and rock act whose lineup included vocalist/guitarist Leonel Arregui, guitarist Juan Manuel Reyes, vocalist Cristian Fabre, bassist Guillermo Pajaro, and drummer Marcelo Gonçalves dos Santos. The band released their debut demo "Out Of Here" in 2008, blending moody gothic textures with a hard rock edge before gradually shifting toward a grungier sound. They have since split up.
Uppsala-based brutal death metal outfit active since 2014, delivering relentless blastbeat-driven punishment and guttural vocal extremity. Their compositions trade in the genre's heaviest currency: slamming breakdowns, inhuman vocals, and wall-to-wall brutality.
Finnish doom/black metal band from Helsinki, formed in 2014. They merge doom metal's crushing weight with black metal's wailing atmosphere.
UK post-black/doom metal project active since 2019, collaborating with Arx Atrata and Arx Silvestris. Their releases including Inundation, Fulmination, and Foundations explore elemental forces and natural cataclysm through dark, atmospheric metal.
Experimental black/death/heavy metal band from Guildford, active since 2013, self-described pioneers of new-wave easy-listening metal. Performing under theatrical pseudonyms, they blend avant-garde extremity with deliberately absurdist humor.
Heavy metal outfit from Sweden, formed in 2009. Their material channels the spirit of iron-fisted riffing and anthemic songwriting that has defined heavy metal since its inception.
Death/thrash metal band from Ans, Belgium, active since 2015. They combine death metal's heaviness with thrash metal's speed and precision in a potent crossover.
Bleed is a death metal band from Rancagua, Chile, formed in 2008 out of a shared love for extreme sounds and vintage horror cinema, influences that shape both their music and lyrical content. Their debut LP Ritual Decapitation appeared in 2017, followed by Magna Morte with a revised lineup including drummer Víctor Sepúlveda and guitarist Brandon Acosta, and the live document Rotten Sessions Live in 2023.
Brighton metalcore five-piece formed in 2015, featuring production mixed and mastered by Justin Hill of SikTh. Their releases from the Bleed Again EP through Survive explore themes of resilience and personal determination through hard-hitting metalcore and hardcore.
