Since 2014, this British thrash metal act has delivered high-velocity riff assaults from the United Kingdom. Their sound channels the raw energy of the genre's golden era through tight musicianship.
Brimstone Coven is a doom metal and occult rock band from Wheeling, West Virginia, formed in 2011 by guitarist Corey Roth, who assembled the group around vocalist 'Big John' Williams and a core of local scene veterans. The band's self-released early material led to a deal with Metal Blade Records in 2014, with their Metal Blade debut appearing that same year and Black Magic following in 2016, both records rooted in the Black Sabbath and Pentagram tradition with additional influence from Led Zeppelin and early Pink Floyd. They later moved to Ripple Music for The Woes of a Mortal Earth (2020).

Sheffield's Bring Me The Horizon have undergone one of metal's most dramatic evolutions, from the raw deathcore of 'Count Your Blessings' through the electronica-infused alt-metal of 'That's the Spirit' and 'amo' to the genre-collapsing 'Post Human' series. Oli Sykes has steered the band from Warped Tour underdogs to arena headliners, consistently staying ahead of trends while dividing and expanding their audience.
