Chainsword

(Death Metal)

Poland

Albums:
  • Blightmarch (2021)
  • Born Triumphant (2024)

Chainsword is a polish quintet that plays some old school death metal. It takes about 5 seconds of listening to their material to figure out what their deal is: Chainsword is Bolt Thrower worship, plain and simple, although I don't use the term in a negative sense. They're not just cheaply trying to mimic the original music one to one, Chainsword tries to build their own sound a bit using them as a huge inspiration, plus they go all in on the Warhammer 40,000 theme, more than the original band did at least. And at the end of the day when all is said and done, Bolt Thrower's flavor of death metal still rules, I for one welcome any band trying to take a shot at the style, and Chainsword does a pretty good job at it. If you're a Bolt Thrower fan, consider giving these guys a chance.

Stone Nomads

(Sludge/Doom Metal)

United States

Albums:
  • Fields of Doom (2022)
  • .​.​.​at the Gates of Solitude (2023)

Stone Nomads is a texan trio that plays some sludge/doom metal. While their 2022 debut has a lot of stoner vibes to it, their follow up album leaves most of that behind and leans heavily towards the sludge sound while adding a lot of black and death metal influences to the mix. Both sound good in their own way, but I gotta say, their heavier sound from the last album really stands out and makes for some pretty good sludge. Their two releases are worth a listen if you're a fan of the genre, so if that's your case, do give Stone Nomads a listen.

Powerman 5000
(early - Alternative/Nu Metal and Industrial Rock; mid - Punk Rock/New Wave; later - Industrial Metal)

Country: US

Albums:
  • The Blood-Splat Rating System (1995)
  • Tonight the Stars Revolt (1999)
  • Anyone to Doomsday (2001)
  • Transform (2003)
  • Destroy What You Enjoy (2006)
  • Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere (2009)

  • Builders of the Future (2014)
  • New Wave (2017)
  • The Noble Rot (2020)
  • Abandon Ship (2024)

Spider One also known by his real name Michael David Cummings is the frontman of Powerman 5000 and the younger brother of Rob Zombie. While gaining moderate success during the mid 90s, he didn't catch his big break until 1996's Ozzfest and only grew from there. With his second album coming out, it only shot him up to mainstream success in 1999. Most casual fans thing that was it for the band but they are wrong. The band is still active to this day. With the 00's being a weird transition for the band as they ditched the industrial rock in favor for alternative and punk rock. In the beginning of the 2010's they returned but with a sort of new wave and industrial sound while later returning to industrial metal. The band gain new fans thanks to signing to Cleopatr Records, the US biggest goth label. Their new album will be out very soon.
