Ballymoney-based southern metal act active since 2022, injecting blues-influenced swagger and whiskey-soaked groove into their heavy, riff-driven sound. Their music channels the spirit of American Southern rock and metal through a British perspective.
French death metal band from Essonne founded in 2012 as a solo project by Vorace, later expanding with guitarist Thomas Menudier. Their 2014 EP On Pain Of Death delivers five tracks of aggressive, dark death metal centered on themes of violence and mortality.
Depressive black metal project from Embrun in the French Alps, active since 2010. Their music channels bleak atmospheric textures through a raw, lo-fi aesthetic characteristic of the DSBM underground.
Spanish band from Barcelona, formed in 2016, whose sound evolved from post-metal and rock toward progressive sludge/doom/post-metal. Their expanding sonic palette reflects a deepening commitment to heaviness and complexity.
Goregrind, grindcore, and death metal band from Minsk, Belarus, evolving from pure goregrind into a broader extreme metal assault since 2013. Their provocatively named project embraces the most visceral corner of extreme music.
