NL · 2013–present · active
Dutch death metal and grindcore act, active since 2013 delivering blast-beat saturation and screaming vocals in sub-minute bursts. Rooted in a country that punches well above its weight in extreme metal, uncompromising in their vision, they deliver exactly what their audience demands.
Utrecht, NL · 2015–present · active
The Dutch city of Utrecht serves as headquarters for this death metal and thrash metal operation, whose arsenal includes suffocating heaviness anchored by rumbling low-end. Each release doubles down on cavernous production and churning tremolo work.
Poitiers, FR · 2023–present · active

DK · 2016–present · active

Treviso, IT · 2020–present · active

Sludge/doom metal band from Manchester, formed in 2026 and representing the newest wave of the city's heavy underground. Their sound merges the crushing slowness of doom with sludge metal's abrasive textures and thick distortion.
