Demiser

(Black/Thrash Metal)

United States

Albums:

Through the Gate Eternal (2021)
Slave to the Scythe (2024)

Demiser is a neat little south carolina band that plays some good old black/thrash metal. Their music is pretty solid, with all the good riffs and sometimes even good melodies one could expect from a blackened thrash band, even if their sound isn't particularly unique. Then again, bands in the genre know they don't have to reinvent the wheel to sound good, and Demiser is well aware of that: with their 2 demos and 30 minute debut, they play fast and don't overstay their welcome, giving you a good headbanging experience while it lasts. So if you're a fan of black/thrash metal, Demiser makes for a quick and enjoyable listen.

Shield of Wings

(Symphonic Metal)

United States

Albums:

Unfinished (2022)

Shield of Wings is an american quintet that plays some symphonic/power metal. The symphonic and metal bits tend to be well balanced, with neither being too predominant over the other usually, at best it leans a bit towards the symphonic. The melodies and orchestral bits sound pretty decent, there's even some folk influences here and there that are quite welcome. The metal itself is alright too, their bandcamp description says it has a bit of "death metal" in there but I don't personally hear it, I assume they might be referring to the harsh vocals which at times complement the regular clean ones (which aren't quite as powerful or operatic as what we sometimes get for bands in the genre, but they're quite nice and do the job just fine). Worst I can say about them is that some tracks get a tad too slow and overstay their welcome, but still, all in all, their debut is a neat album that makes for a good listen if you're into symphonic metal, so if that's your case, considering giving Shield of Wings a try.

Steelballs

(Power / Speed)

Argentina

Albums:

Thunder Strikes Again (2018)
The Neverending Fire (2022)
Rebels (2026)

These dudes are not kidding when they mention being in the same vein as early Helloween and Manowar. While that alone should be more than enough for most folks to describe what you're about to get, for anyone else I'll expand upon it just a bit. The vocals are very much in the higher pitch Helloween bracket, but this band goes harder on the speed angle. The bass gets particularly spicy on several tracks, sometimes in fair competition for full attention against the rapid fire dual guitars. Their stuff is a pretty fun listen with plenty of power metal cheese to go along with it, and the couple of singles they've put out for their upcoming new album (to be released next Monday) feel like a steady continuation of what the last couple albums established. Just a heads up, some of the sound quality is way better on the bandcamp linked after the youtube links, but here are the video links anyways for those who prefer it.

Torpedo Torpedo

(Stoner / Psych Doom)

Austria

Albums:

Arrows of Time (2025)

Veering a slight more into rock while keeping things hella heavy, we've got this band out of Vienna. While relatively new with just an album and an EP to their name, they have managed to put together a super crisp sound that mixes a dab of sludge and desert rock in with the sometimes almost Pink Floyd level psychedelic trippiness backed by powerfully heavy doom riffage. The vocalist kinda almost sounds like Bono from U2 which is kinda funny, but that's not the point. If you need a lot of fuzz and a lot of chill, you've come to the right place. Since they don't have much of a presence on youtube, we've just got the single from their first EP and a full first album stream below.
