Gothenburg, SE · 2019–present · active

Brighton, GB · 2023–present · active
Always Expire merges death metal, melodic death metal, and progressive metal from Brighton since 2023, their mortality-themed name reflecting the transience at the core of their compositions. Their seaside origins add an unlikely backdrop to their extreme ambitions.

Murcia, ES · 2025–present · active

Mikkeli, FI · 2015–present · active
Amanita Virosa takes its name from the deadly destroying angel mushroom and delivers equally toxic melodic death metal from Mikkeli since 2015. The mycological moniker perfectly suits a band whose music combines lethal heaviness with deceptive melodic beauty.
