German thrash metal band from Dortmund, formed in 2020. They forge modern thrash metal from the Ruhr Valley's deep metal tradition.
Bonded by Blood is a thrash metal band formed in 2005 in Pomona, California, named directly after the classic Exodus album of the same title. Rooted in the Bay Area thrash tradition, the band self-released their debut EP Extinguish the Weak in 2007, which earned them a deal with Earache Records. Their debut full-length Feed the Beast (2008) and follow-ups Exiled to Earth (2010) and The Aftermath (2012) established them as committed revivalists of 1980s Bay Area aggression.
Finnish melodic death metal band from the Kuopio-Varkaus region, formed in 2021. They craft melodic death metal from the lake country of Savonia.
Death/thrash outfit from Corby, formed in 2013. Their sound channels the raw energy of 1980s thrash through death metal's heavier lens, pairing aggressive vocals with riff-centric compositions.
Greek raw black metal and dungeon synth project active since 2023, oscillating between caustic, lo-fi black metal hostility and fantastical synthesizer passages dripping with medieval atmosphere. Their dual-natured output bridges the gap between the genre's most primitive impulses and its escapist, RPG-influenced side.
Sludge metal outfit from Saint Petersburg, formed in 2015. Their music moves with the grinding inevitability of industrial machinery, all corroded tones and barely controlled fury.
Samara-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2016, conjuring thick clouds of fuzz-laden riffage and hypnotic, groove-driven compositions. Their sound channels the haze of 1970s proto-metal through a modern lens of distortion-worship and lysergic exploration.
County Durham-based black metal act active since 2015, channeling the genre's core tenets of tremolo-driven riffing and blast-beat fury through a British lens. Their recordings maintain a commitment to the raw, unvarnished aesthetic that defines underground black metal.
Stoner metal act from Schijndel, formed in 2023. Their compositions ride low-slung grooves through clouds of distortion, evoking the sun-baked psychedelia of the desert rock tradition.
