Genocidal Terror is an extreme metal act from Antwerp Province blending death metal, black metal, and grindcore into a savage, no-frills assault. Their discography is built largely on splits and EPs, including a four-way split with Grinder Bueno, Buffet Froid, and Assur, plus the Nerve Gas Holocaust EP (2015).

Lansing, Michigan's Genocya has been weaving black and death metal together since 2011, crafting a sound that swings between icy tremolo passages and down-tuned, guttural extremity. They occupy that punishing middle ground where both genres drag each other deeper into the dark.
