Vampire

Vampire -- a somewhat generic name for a heavy metal band these days, but there's nothing wrong with that. Hailing from the Swedish metal mecca that is Gothenburg, the band debuted with a self-titled effort in 2014 and three years later released the potent followup, With Primevil Force. There's a good deal of genre-mixing here, with the base being riff-heavy, blackened thrash, but also containing clear traditional metal influences (Maiden-esque guitar harmonies, for one) and a shade of old school death metal aggression. It's all slightly retro, but in a good way, as there's plenty of youthful vigor to keep things from going south.
