Heavy metal, hard rock, and punk crossover act from Nice on the French Riviera, formed in 2017. Their eclectic sound draws on the rebellious energy of punk fused with heavy metal riffing and hard rock swagger.
Czech black metal band based between Prague and Pilsen, formed in 2020. They channel the atmospheric darkness of black metal through a distinctly Bohemian sensibility.
Celtic folk/black metal band from Paris, active since the mid-1990s and recognized as one of the pioneering acts in the folk metal genre. Their releases Sidh and Les Chroniques de Naerg blend traditional Celtic instrumentation and war-themed narratives with black metal ferocity.
Cold, unrelenting black metal from Łódź, 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.
Cassino (Frosinone)-based groove metal act active since 2014, 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.
Brand New Sin is a hard rock and Southern rock band from Syracuse, New York, active from 2002 to 2012, formed by members of the local metal band Godbelow who wanted to explore bluesier, groove-oriented territory. After a self-titled debut on Now or Never Records in 2002, the band signed to Century Media Records, releasing Recipe for Disaster (2005), Tequila (2006), Distilled (2009), and United State (2011). The band contributed the entrance theme used by WWE wrestler Paul Wight (Big Show) during his career, and held original-lineup reunion shows in 2019.
Brand Of Sacrifice built their identity around the anime and manga series 'Berserk,' channeling its dark fantasy themes through devastating deathcore from their base in Toronto, Ontario. Vocalist Kyle Anderson's inhuman gutturals and the band's symphonic black metal influences set them apart from the crowded deathcore pack. Albums like 'Lifeblood' and 'Godhand' deliver cinematic brutality that appeals equally to anime fans and extreme metal devotees.
Werkendam-based black metal act active since 2018, channeling the genre's core tenets of tremolo-driven riffing and blast-beat fury through a Dutch lens. Their recordings maintain a commitment to the raw, unvarnished aesthetic that defines underground black metal.
Forged in 1998 from Novomoskovsk, this black metal entity delivers uncompromising extremity built on icy tremolo riffs and relentless percussion. Their work carries the cold, misanthropic spirit that defines the genre's most devoted practitioners.
