Spanish death/doom band Cerebral Curse has only been around for two years or so, but they already made a strong impression with their 2025 demo.

In the Shadow of Your Shadow
by Cult of Luna

Cult of Luna has been one of the bands that helped shape the broader post metal genre over the past twenty-five years and given their often apocalyptic and darker sound it feels appropriate that they were also the last artist I saw on stage before the world shut down in 2020.

VII
by Hell-Born

Poland has such a wealth of black and death metal that there are always new acts to discover, even some that have been around for multiple decades but may not have come across your radar.

Krolok may not be quite as well known as HV/Graf Von K.s other group Malokarpatan, but over the last decade the two have showcased some of the more interesting metal to come out of Slovakia.
