Perugia-based technical brutal death metal act delivering precise, punishing extremity since 2007. Their machine-gun drumming and labyrinthine riffing place them among Italy's most formidable entries in the global brutal death metal scene.
German thrash metal band from Bünde in Westphalia, formed in 2022. They deliver fast, aggressive thrash metal from the eastern reaches of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Uncompromising death metal from Bohus, active since 2020. Their material trades in the genre's heaviest traditions: cavernous vocals, churning guitar work, and percussion that hits with tectonic force.
Cold, unrelenting black metal from Bucharest, active since 2014. Their sound embodies the genre's core principles: razor-sharp tremolo picking, furious drumming, and an atmosphere thick with hostility and darkness.
German heavy metal and hard rock band from Kirchberg, formed in 2014. They bridge classic heavy metal and hard rock with a raw, energetic approach.
French speed/thrash metal band from Montluçon, formed in 2012. They deliver wished-for speed/thrash from the Allier region of central France.
German melodic death metal and metalcore band from Paderborn, formed in 2014. They combine melodic death metal's guitar harmonies with metalcore intensity.
