Germany's biggest punk band by a distance: forty years of terrace-sized Düsseldorf anthems and a crowd that knows every word.
PunkPunk rock
Amy Lee's piano-and-orchestra gothic metal is the sound of a whole 2000s radio format built around one voice, and 'Bring Me to Life' is still an event live.
Gothic-metalAlt-metal
Chicago's alt-rock monument, with Mellon Collie-scale guitars at home in Grant Park and Corgan drama at full wingspan.
Alt-rock
Mike Patton and the San Francisco band that mixed funk, metal, rap and lounge-singer theatrics into 'Epic' and 'Midlife Crisis', a template alternative metal borrowed from for years.
Alt-metalAlt-rock
Berlin trio of Farin Urlaub, Bela B and Rodrigo González, pairing punk speed with absurdist humour and pointed songs like 'Schrei nach Liebe'. Self-styled best band in the world.
Rock
Austrian duo singing Austropop in broad dialect, who came out of comedy and broke through with the singalong 'Ham kummst'.
Pop
Boston Celtic-punk with bagpipes, union politics, and a singalong rate of roughly one per song ('Shipping Up to Boston' being merely the loudest).
Celtic-punk
Michigan metalcore that swings between radio-size clean choruses and full-throated breakdowns, Grammy-nominated for 2019's Trauma.
MetalcorePost-hardcore
Essex alt-rock built around Conor Mason's soaring falsetto, riff-heavy and made for big rooms.
Alt-rock
German band fusing bagpipes and shawms with heavy guitars and German-language lyrics, grown from medieval-market gigs into chart-topping albums at home.
Metal
Montreal pop-punk that took the genre fully mainstream and has never pretended otherwise, with 'I'm Just a Kid' now two generations deep.
Pop
The top-hatted Guns N' Roses guitarist's long-running solo band, with Alter Bridge's Myles Kennedy on vocals: big riffs, bigger solos, and a set that reaches back to 'Sweet Child O' Mine'.
Hard rockRock
Michael Amott's Swedish melodic death metal, harsh vocals over twin-guitar harmonies that are as tuneful as they are fast.
Melodic death metalMetal
Caleb Shomo's Ohio metalcore, gang-vocal hardcore punch wrapped around big melodic hooks about getting through the bad days.
MetalcoreHardcore
German band that began as tongue-in-cheek medieval minstrels and grew into full-throttle medieval metal, with fiddle, folk melodies and songs about mead and battle.
Rock
New Jersey deathcore act whose blackened, orchestral extremity broke out of the underground once Will Ramos took the mic, with vocal contortion as spectacle.
Metal
TBS
Formerly The Butcher Sisters: a Palatinate crossover crew since 2011 that welds metal riffs to German rap and parodies the macho swagger of both scenes.
Rap metalCrossover
Sweden's Viking metal institution, with melodic death metal, longship stage sets and choruses a whole field roars back.
Metal
Welsh metalcore from Bridgend, Matt Tuck's twin-guitar leads and soaring choruses unchanged in spirit since 'Tears Don't Fall' made them a 2000s fixture.
MetalcoreHeavy metal
Austrian rapper who built a large online following with gaming-themed tracks, alongside earnest, emotional German-language songs for the same devoted audience.
Hip-hop
Metalcore's standard-bearers, where 'The End of Heartache' still detonates and two decades of the genre's template are played by its authors.
Metalcore
Horror-movie theatrics welded to industrial-tinged metalcore, with corpse paint, synths, and choruses built for an arena singalong, Halloween as a year-round genre.
Gothic metalcoreIndustrial metal
Sunset Strip glam metal played absolutely straight musically and absolutely not lyrically: spandex, shred solos and some of the filthiest jokes in rock.
Glam metalHard rock
Los Angeles ska-punk built on Aimee Interrupter's rasp and the three Bivona brothers behind her, two-tone bounce with singalongs like 'She's Kerosene'.
Ska-punkPunk
Small-town Swedish metal that pairs melodic death metal heft with groove riffs and clean, cinematic choruses.
Melodic death metalMetal
Sydney hardcore that went global fast, with brotherhood-forward lyrics and riffs built entirely for the pile-on, and community as the whole point.
Hardcore
Los Angeles industrial-metal machine behind the 'evil disco' churn of Wayne Static's era, carrying the catalogue forward with the surviving lineup and a masked frontman.
Metal
Team Scheisse
German punk band firing off short, snotty garage-punk songs with blunt, sardonic German lyrics and no wasted seconds.
Punk
The Photonics
Trance
Cenobia
A masked Sydney solo artist who surfaced in 2025, pairing atmospheric alt rock and heavy riffs with whispered verses, full-throated shouts and a mythology of her own.
Alternative metal
Dexter & The Moonrocks
Protest-minded alt-rock with trap production underneath: agitprop you can actually move to, delivered with genuine live-wire intensity.
Alt-rockElectronic-rock
Ukrainian groove and progressive metal in odd-time grooves, built around Tatiana Shmayluk's switch from a guttural roar to a clean, soulful voice mid-song.
Progressive metalGroove metal
The Nashville project of Kentucky-born singer Addison, whose voice jumps from low growls to piercing screams to clean melody over deathcore weight, first heard in clips filmed in her car.
Deathcore
Solence
Stockholm band welding bright synth hooks and electronic drops onto alternative metal riffs, with choruses built for mass singalongs.
Rock
German-language punk rock from Ina Bredehorn, with fast guitars, a hoarse shout of a voice and choruses written to be yelled back at her.
Punk rockRock
Texas metalcore built on clean-vocal lift and reliably enormous breakdowns, with arena-scale heaviness delivered with total consistency.
Metal
Igel vs. Shark
Rock
Canadian post-hardcore that outlasted the scene it came from by simply never getting worse, and 'My Heroine' is still a full-crowd scream.
Post-hardcoreEmo
As December Falls
Self-made British pop-rock led by singer Bethany: turned down label offers, funded its own records, and still reached the UK albums chart with "Join the Club" in 2023.
Pop punkAlternative rock
Rap-rock revivalists trading verses between a singer and an MC, straight out of the 2000s playbook, with updated production and the same adrenaline.
Rap-rockAlt-metal
Manchester co-fronted pop-punk with a sneer inherited directly from Britpop, featuring dual vocals, big choruses, and bigger attitude.
