Nevermore

With their distinctive blend of progressive, thrash, groove and power metal, Nevermore have established themselves as one of the most influential names in modern metal. From their self-titled debut to landmark albums like Dead Heart in a Dead World and This Godless Endeavor, the band built a reputation for intricate songwriting, powerful riffs and emotional intensity. Now back on stage with a renewed lineup, Nevermore are working on new music while revisiting their influential catalogue.

Hailing from Reading, Pennsylvania, Rivers of Nihil combine progressive and technical death metal with atmospheric, melodic and experimental elements. Their 2018 album Where Owls Know My Name helped establish the band as one of the more distinctive names in modern extreme metal, while albums like The Work and their 2025 self-titled record continued to expand their sound. The result is a dynamic mix of technical musicianship, crushing heaviness and progressive songwriting.

London trio URNE bring together the weight of sludge and doom with elements of tech-metal, hardcore and classic heavy metal. Drawing inspiration from bands such as Metallica, Mastodon, Death and Alice in Chains, they have developed a sound that is simply built around one thing: heaviness. With two acclaimed albums under their belt, including A Feast on Sorrow, URNE continue to carve out their own place in the modern metal scene.
