Thrash/death metal outfit from Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, delivering aggressive, high-velocity metal since 2012. Their crossover of thrash and death metal brings raw Balkan energy to the extreme metal underground.

Death/doom/thrash metal act from Zurich, Switzerland, active since 2005 with an extensive catalog spanning conceptual releases marked by bracketed letter titles. Their prolific output includes split releases, EPs, and full-length albums exploring dark religious and existential themes across multiple extreme metal subgenres.
Thrash/black/death metal band originally from Norway, active since the mid-2000s. Their sound fuses three extreme metal pillars into a chaotic, boundary-crossing hybrid.
