Uncompromising death metal from London, active since 2026. Their material trades in the genre's heaviest traditions: cavernous vocals, churning guitar work, and percussion that hits with tectonic force.
Manchester-based NWOBHM-inspired heavy metal act active since 2022, channeling the raw energy and twin-guitar attack of the late 1970s and early 1980s British heavy metal explosion. Their sound recalls the glory days of Iron Maiden, Saxon, and Diamond Head.
Death/thrash outfit from Leicester, formed in 2015. Their sound channels the raw energy of 1980s thrash through death metal's heavier lens, pairing aggressive vocals with riff-centric compositions.
Blood Oath is a progressive death metal band from Concepción, Chile, formed in 2015, whose sound blends the feral aggression of late-1980s death/thrash with the technical sophistication of early-1990s death metal — often drawing comparisons to Sadus and Pestilence. After establishing themselves with the Malignant Manifesto promo (2015) and the mini-LP The Line Between (2017), they released their debut full-length Lost in an Eternal Silence through Caligari Records in 2023, a record noted for its prominent fretless bass work and complex rhythmic arrangements.
Blood Ocean is a thrash metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2014 and still active. The band plays in the aggressive tradition of Brazilian thrash metal and operates as an independent act within São Paulo's underground metal scene.
Danish death/groove/thrash metal band from Hvidbjerg in western Jutland, formed in 2016. They draw from three metal traditions for a versatile, aggressive sound.
German melodic death metal band from Duisburg, formed in 2013. They forge melodic death metal with strong hooks from the Ruhr industrial heartland.
Forged in 2014 from Kharkiv, this black metal entity delivers uncompromising extremity built on icy tremolo riffs and relentless percussion. Their work carries the cold, misanthropic spirit that defines the genre's most devoted practitioners.
Doom metal outfit from Södertälje, formed in 2010. Their compositions stretch conventional structures to their limits, filling every measure with oppressive weight and deliberate, devastating momentum.
