- Balkan Electrique (Poland) - Synth Pop/Balkan Folk Music. Possibly the most underrated polish band. They combined balkan folk with pop music at the truly bad time for such activity on polish market. After (official) regained independence, the Poles were hungry for Western culture, which hopes them help to break away from the east. Collectively, rejected everything that was associated with the east and glorified the west. Then came hip-hop, McDonald's and first capitalistic millionaires. Sad times. Poland has always been a link for west and the east. Providing balance and cultural dialogue, sometimes being a buffer zone. Losing over time, but also gaining the experience. Just like Balkan Electrique. Now they are still underrated and more unknown to the world. Pity because their music are actually excellent and addicting.

- Anorexia Nervosa (France) - Symphonic Death/Black Metal. Well-known band but worth to talk about. My favorite from France. AN bring the fresh air into Symphonic BM. Sounds powerful and decadent. New Obscurantis Order are best album to start listening.

- Underground Moon (USA) - Industrial Rock. Only one album released in fall of 2001 the "Underground Moon". Composed by Dominic Moon (Jeff Pilson - ex-Dokken, ex-Dio). The well played material but now it gone old. However it's a good album and worth to listen out.

- The Sisters of Mercy (Great Britain) - One of the best bands of Gothic Rock. Unfortunately they stop recording after little misunderstood with a label and now this is only live band. Most atmospheric album is Floodland.

- Will (Canada) - Industrial/EBM/Martial Industrial/neoclassical. Will was a collaboration between Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly, Conjure One), Chris Peterson (Decree) & vocalist John McRae. They produced one album and EP in the early nineties but remained inactive afterwards. On guitar, band supports Jeff Stoddard. John McRae, Jeff Stoddard and Chris Peterson continued working together on their Decree project. Will was great and successful attempt to merge EBM/neoclassical and martial industrial together.
