Eths formed in Marseille, France in 1996 and developed a distinctive metalcore and groove metal sound that drew comparisons to Meshuggah and Tool while incorporating the contrasting clean and harsh vocal interplay of frontwoman Candice Clot. Their 2004 debut full-length Soma sold over 25,000 copies in France on the strength of an extensive 120-date tour, and the follow-up Tératologie (2007) expanded their international reach. After releasing III (2012) and Ankaa (2016), the band announced their dissolution in November 2016.

Saint Petersburg-based death metal, melodic death metal, and metalcore act, active since 2014 delivering HM-2 filth and d-beat fury in the old Swedish tradition. Rooted in one of Eastern Europe's most extreme metal communities, their approach favors no-frills brutality over technical showmanship.
When Excellent Cadaver emerged in 2012 from Dundee, they brought with them a sound rooted in metalcore — all hardcore aggression refined with metal's technical ambition. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
