Bravelord is the solo power metal project of Chilean musician Rodrigo Bravo, launched in 2021 with the debut single The Power From The End Of The World, produced by Nicolás Arce at AST Studios. The debut full-length album of the same name was released in November 2025 through AST Music, a conceptual record built around an environmental allegory featuring guest vocals from Caterina Nix of Chaos Magic and Paulo Domic, drawing from the classic late-1990s power metal sound.
Braves Face the Devil is a stoner metal band from Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, formed in 2015. The band later evolved and continued under the name Netuno Doom, shifting toward a progressive doom metal sound with science fiction-themed lyrics drawing on cosmic horror and cyberpunk influences. Both incarnations have been active parts of the northeastern Brazilian heavy music scene.
Bury St. Edmunds-based heavy metal and hard rock outfit active since 2023, blending classic heavy metal riffing with the swagger and groove of hard rock. Their sound channels the spirit of 1970s and 1980s arena rock through crunchy guitar tones and hook-laden songwriting.
Finnish melodic doom/gothic metal band formed in 2023. They blend melodic doom with gothic metal's dark romanticism.
Whiskey-soaked Southern Metal out of Texas.
Finnish melodic death metal band from Ylivieska, formed in 2013. They craft dusk-tinged melodic death metal from the Ostrobothnian interior.
Groove metal outfit from Kyiv, formed in 2020. Their material trades in the satisfying crunch of heavy, rhythmically driven riffs that demand involuntary neck movement.
Break the Ice is a death/thrash metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2013. The band released a demo tape in 2015 featuring tracks such as "Agony" and "Blessed Death," recorded and mixed by Ugo Héon. They have since split up.
England-based deathcore act active since 2026, fusing death metal's guttural extremity with metalcore's breakdown-heavy dynamics and modern production aesthetics. Their compositions alternate between blasting intensity and crushing, floor-dropping breakdowns.
