German death/thrash metal and grindcore band from Castrop-Rauxel in the Ruhr Valley, formed in 2014. They channel a feral blend of death-thrash and grindcore extremity.
German death metal band from the Landshut-Munich area, active since 2009. They bring nearly two decades of scorned death metal brutality to the Upper Bavarian scene.
