BE · 2012–present · active
Belgian black/death/thrash metal act active since 2012, combining three of extreme metal's most aggressive subgenres into a volatile hybrid. Their approach draws from the raw fury of each genre to create a multi-pronged assault characteristic of Belgium's adventurous extreme metal scene.
Annaberg-Buchholz, DE · 2012–present · active
