Venice's Stench of Profit grind with an anti-capitalist message since 2015. Their politically charged name and Venetian origins create a critique of commerce from one of history's greatest trading cities.
Heerenveen's Stoma grind from the Frisian town since 2013. Their medical name referencing surgical openings and their northern Dutch origins channel clinical imagery into bursts of grindcore extremity.
Novara's Subhuman Hordes merge death metal and grindcore from the Piedmontese plains since 2015. Their horde-mentality name channels the overwhelming force of numbers into dense, relentless extremity.
Milan's Suicide by Cop have been grinding since 2010. Their darkly specific name and Milanese origins channel urban violence and societal critique into bursts of grindcore extremity.
Stockholm's Swaermmm grind mathcore from the Swedish capital since 2020. Their deliberately elongated swarm name channels the chaos of insect multitudes into compositions of mathematically precise, capital-city extremity.
Syncopate deal in death metal and grindcore from the Thuringian village of Gleichamberg, channeling extreme aggression from the rural southern Thuringian landscape. Active since 2010, their rhythmic-displacement name suits their off-kilter approach to extremity.
