German death metal band from Borne, active since 2005. They have been delivering relentless death metal for over two decades.
Zvolen-based death metal act active since 2022, trafficking in the genre's essential currency of guttural vocals, down-tuned riffs, and relentless percussive punishment. Their compositions deliver uncompromising heaviness rooted in the old-school tradition.
Lesser Poland-based brutal death metal outfit active since 2024, delivering relentless blastbeat-driven punishment and guttural vocal extremity. Their compositions trade in the genre's heaviest currency: slamming breakdowns, inhuman vocals, and wall-to-wall brutality.
Thrash metal band from Villeurbanne in the Lyon metropolitan area, formed in 2018. They deliver high-energy thrash rooted in the classic European tradition of speed and aggression.
Punishing brutal death metal from Dnipro, formed in 2014. Guttural vocals scrape the basement of human register while churning riffs and gravity-blast percussion pummel with mechanical precision.
Brain Drill is a technical death metal band from Ben Lomond, California, formed in 2005 by guitarist Dylan Ruskin as a side project that rapidly became the primary vehicle for his hyper-speed compositional ideas. Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster personally recommended the band to Metal Blade Records, who signed them in 2007 and released Apocalyptic Feasting (2008) and Quantum Catastrophe (2010), both regarded as extreme examples of speed and technical precision in the genre. The band self-released a third album, Boundless Obscenity, in 2016 before disbanding in 2019.
Sludge metal outfit from Glasgow, formed in 2017. Their music moves with the grinding inevitability of industrial machinery, all corroded tones and barely controlled fury.
Porto-based groove metal act active since 2022, anchoring their sound in mid-tempo, syncopated riffing designed to generate maximum physical impact. Their chunky, headbang-inducing compositions channel the spirit of Pantera and Lamb of God.
Death/doom outfit from the United Kingdom, formed in 2021. Their music inhabits the oppressive space where death metal's aggression meets doom's suffocating weight.
