Mass Turbo is a thrash/hardcore band from Modica, Sicily, Italy, blending 1980s hardcore and American crossover influences. Their 2017 debut EP 'The Wrestler' delivers a 'five-songs blast full of rage, irony and shitty attitude,' followed by a self-titled EP after a seven-year hiatus.
Since 1990, New Jersey's Mastermind has been a fixture in American progressive metal, weaving complex song structures and virtuosic musicianship into long-form compositions. Their decades-long run out of Browns Mills stands as a testament to the resilience of prog metal outside major scenes.
Mastic Scum are one of Austria's most internationally recognized extreme metal bands, a brutal death metal and grindcore outfit from Salzburg founded in 1992 by Harry Gandler, Man Gandler, and Linga Moser. Their sound is defined by machine-precise rhythms, dissonant riffing, and a vocal onslaught spanning guttural lows to harsh highs, and they have released six studio albums including 'ICON' on MDD Records in 2022. A seventh album is currently in production as of 2026.
