The Czech underground scene keeps giving birth to bands that do far more than just play music — they build entire worlds around their sound. One of those bands is Berhelven, a death metal force from Prague formed in spring 2024 that is already beginning to shake the underground with serious intensity.
There are bands that play music. And then there are bands that create their own world. A world full of emotions, contrasts, chaos, and freedom. When I immersed myself in the music of SAVIOURSELF, it didn't feel like I was listening to just another modern metalcore band. It felt as if someone had opened a portal between the nostalgia of...
Some bands try to fit into existing genres. Others prefer to create their own. The Czech band Nomura belongs firmly to the second group. What emerged between technical riffs, deathcore aggression, melancholic atmosphere, and dense groove-driven pressure, they now simply call — groovecore. And honestly? It fits perfectly.
We all probably already know how bands are formed — they are not brought by storks; they are born from a passion for music, from restlessness, from emotions that simply can't stay under the skin for too long. Some bands emerge from carefully planned visions and dreams of big festival stages. Others are born much more quietly — in sweaty...
Bands do not always come together because of a plan. Sometimes, people simply find each other because they carry the same unrest within themselves. And it is exactly where energy, pressure, and the need to say something collide that music is born — music that has no time to wait. As They Rise are exactly that kind of...

And that's exactly how bands are born — from the desire to create something, to feel something, and to pass something on. Music is not just about notes or stages. It's about stories,...
Some bands happen by accident. Friendship Commanders, however, feel like their music existed long before the first riff was ever played. The duo of Buick Audra and Jerry Roe creates a sound that is both brutal and beautiful — a massive wall of noise filled with emotion, melody, and raw energy.
Metal Conjunction did not emerge as just another project in line with many others. They were not formed to fit into a system or replicate what already exists. Their music is more of a response to the need to cross boundaries – genre boundaries, sonic boundaries, and personal ones.
Not every heavy band has to rely solely on aggression. The Italian band Ravine shows that even the heaviest breakdown can carry melancholy, emotion, and a strange kind of beauty hidden within chaos. Their music is not just a mix of influences — it is a mix of feelings.
Omega Diatribe are returning to the scene just as summer is beginning to take its first breath — and they are bringing exactly what fans expect from them: pressure, energy, and an uncompromising groove that stops for nothing. The Budapest-based band, which has spent years building its name on solid riffs and a dark atmosphere, is entering 2026...
