Heavy metal band from L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain, active since 2004. Two decades of traditional heavy metal from the Barcelona suburbs, named after the Megadeth classic.

Formed in Crosne, Essonne, France in 2005 out of the local hardcore punk scene, Hangman's Chair began with a stoner and sludge-oriented approach before finding their defining identity in a bleaker, more post-punk influenced doom with the 2012 trilogy opener Hope /// Dope /// Rope. Albums including Banlieue triste (2018) on Spinefarm Records and A Loner (2022) on Nuclear Blast deepened their absorption of cold wave, shoegaze, and new wave into a desolate heavy framework. Their catalog is one of the most distinctive in European doom metal, rooted in Parisian suburban alienation.
Thrash metal/hardcore band from Jena, Germany, active since 2003. With over two decades of experience, they are veterans of the Thuringian crossover scene, merging thrash velocity with hardcore intensity.
