Kazan-based symphonic death metal act active since 2017, augmenting their extreme metal foundation with orchestral arrangements and cinematic scope. Their music pairs death metal's visceral aggression with lush keyboard orchestration and epic compositional ambition.
Heavy metal outfit from Poland, formed in 2019. Their material channels the spirit of iron-fisted riffing and anthemic songwriting that has defined heavy metal since its inception.
York-based black metal act active since 2023, 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.
Chicago's Born of Osiris pioneered a symphonic, keyboard-laden strain of progressive deathcore that set them apart from their peers on albums like 'The Discovery' and 'Tomorrow We Die Alive.' Lee McKinney's technical guitar work and the band's integration of electronic and orchestral elements helped define the Sumerian Records sound of the early 2010s.
Finnish melodic black metal band from Matinkylä, formed in 2021. They channel thorny melodic black metal from the Espoo suburbs.
Spanish progressive heavy/doom metal band from Seville, formed in 2024. They blend progressive ambition with heavy and doom metal weight from Andalusia.
Termoli (Campobasso)-based death metal/deathcore act active since 2011, fusing death metal's guttural extremity with modern breakdown-heavy dynamics. Their compositions alternate between blasting intensity and crushing, floor-dropping breakdowns.
Birmingham-based death metal/grindcore outfit active since 2018, blasting through short, ferocious compositions that marry death metal's low-end churn with grindcore's frenetic speed. Their music operates at maximum intensity with minimal patience for subtlety.
