German metalcore and deathcore band from Koblenz, active since 2009. They bring over a decade of breakdown-heavy, aggressive metalcore and deathcore to the Rhineland scene.
German thrash metal band from Brunswick, formed in 2021. They channel raw thrash metal energy from Lower Saxony's historic lion city.
Blessed in Fire is a power metal band from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, active since the early 2000s and independent. The band is part of the Brazilian power metal scene rooted in Salvador, with early releases including a rehearsal recording titled "Dead & Alive" (2003), and continues to be active in the regional metal community.
Doom metal outfit from Bolsward, formed in 2012. Their compositions stretch conventional structures to their limits, filling every measure with oppressive weight and deliberate, devastating momentum.
Melodic death metal outfit from Łódź, formed in 2025. Twin-guitar harmonies and soaring lead work temper the brutality of blast beats and growled vocals, creating compositions that are both punishing and anthemic.
Filth-encrusted raw black metal from Nitra, forged in 2022. Intentionally abrasive production values serve as a weapon, wrapping venomous riffs and shrieked vocals in a blanket of corrosive static.
Death metal and deathcore band from Minsk, Belarus, active since 2013. They combine death metal technicality with deathcore's bone-crushing breakdowns.
Kraków-based melodic death metal act active since 2017, threading harmonized guitar leads and memorable hooks through aggressive, double-bass-driven arrangements. Their approach balances accessibility with genuine heaviness, drawing from the Gothenburg tradition.
Black metal project from Gleisdorf, Austria, formed in 2021, with releases including "Under the Storm of Hate," "Imperial Hordes," and "Forever Cold." Their dark and aggressive approach draws on cold, hate-fueled black metal themes.
