Milford, Massachusetts outfit Enchanted Exile trade in classic heavy and power metal that owes as much to traditional US metal as it does to European melodic power. Formed in 2015, they bring a no-frills conviction to anthemic, riff-driven songwriting.

Grand Rapids power/progressive metal outfit blending soaring melodic vocals with technically ambitious arrangements since 2010. Their music balances the anthem-driven energy of classic power metal with the structural complexity of progressive songwriting.

Chicago's Energy Vampires arrived in 2025 with a heavy and power metal hybrid that sinks its teeth into soaring melodies and muscular riffwork. Fresh out of the gate, they bring a theatrical bite to the Windy City's metal underground.

Albuquerque's Enforcer has charted an interesting evolution from heavy and power metal beginnings toward an industrial-thrash hybrid since forming in 2008. The New Mexico desert seems to have pushed them toward harsher, more mechanical territory over time.

Chicago's Enforcer draws on the gravity of doom metal and the grandeur of power metal to build a sound that is both heavy and epic, active in the Windy City scene since 2008. Their songwriting favors weight and atmosphere over speed, letting riffs breathe and expand.

Chicago's Enticer marries power metal's soaring anthemics with thrash's aggression, a combination that has given them a distinct identity in the city's crowded metal scene since forming in 2014. Think twin guitars, big choruses, and fast picking.
