German grindcore band from Schneeberg in Saxony, active since 2009. They deliver explosive, unrelenting grindcore from the Erzgebirge mountain region.
German black/death metal band from Upper Franconia, formed in 2021. They merge black and death metal into a parasitic, blood-soaked sonic assault.
Thrash metal outfit from London, formed in 2011. Their compositions hit with the urgent intensity that defines the genre at its best: fast, tight, and unapologetically aggressive.
Punishing brutal death metal from Rostov-on-Don, formed in 2025. Guttural vocals scrape the basement of human register while churning riffs and gravity-blast percussion pummel with mechanical precision.
Bloodclot is a New York City hardcore and crossover thrash band led by John Joseph, former vocalist of the Cro-Mags, with roots stretching back to the early 1980s when the group served as roadies for Bad Brains. The project became a proper studio entity in 2008 with the debut Burn Babylon Burn!, and resurfaced prominently with Up in Arms (Metal Blade Records, 2017), recorded with Nick Oliveri, Joey Castillo, and the late Todd Youth. Their third album Souls, featuring members of Sick of It All, Quicksand, and Madball, continued their run of NYHC and early thrash-informed material.
Czech black metal band from Prague, formed in 2025, with their debut release Human Peak. They channel classic black metal darkness through a contemporary Prague underground lens.
Death-grind act from Milan, formed in 2012. Their approach strips away anything that does not serve the cause of sheer aggression, delivering sub-two-minute salvos of blast beats and guttural fury.
Bloodcraver are a thrash metal band from Duitama, Boyacá, Colombia, formed in 2014. They released their debut EP Skynet in 2018, a three-track independent recording produced in Colombia.
