Second Coming have been dealing in death metal from Freiburg im Breisgau since 1999, making them one of the longest-running extreme acts in the Black Forest region. Their quarter-century of activity represents a sustained commitment to aggression from one of Germany's most picturesque cities.

Second Reality deliver thrash metal from the North Sea port of Wilhelmshaven, channeling old-school velocity from the Lower Saxon coast. Formed in 2021, they bring fresh thrash energy to a maritime region better known for naval history than metal.
