Their 2017 split with Swedish death-crust act Obscest was released on tape through Cirsium Kollektivet, blending atmospheric black metal textures with punk-inflected aggression.

Glavio is a solo grindcore and goregrind project from northern France, created in 2007 by Antoine Dourlent, who also plays guitar in L.A.R.D.O.N. The prolific project has released eight albums over a decade, including the retrospective 10 Years of Putrid (2017) and numerous splits.
Goat Vomit is a two-member extreme metal project from Saint-Nicolas, Belgium, fusing black metal with enough death metal influence to give the sound added heft and brutality. Their 2017 debut Tormenting the Holy was recorded and mixed in just four days, yielding six tracks of raw, anti-religious aggression in twenty-one minutes.
Goatfyre is a thrash metal and crust punk band from Gothenburg, Sweden, active since 2019 and fusing thrash aggression with crust punk's raw energy. The project bridges two aggressive traditions from Sweden's metal capital.
Houston's God Fearing Fuck fuse crust punk's anarchic grime with black and death metal extremity into a sound that's as confrontational as the name suggests. Since 2014, they've operated with a vicious, street-level intensity that sits outside any comfortable scene.
Gomora is a crust punk and death/thrash metal band from Prague's Zizkov district, formed in 2007, rooted in the street and pub culture of the Czech capital. The band has navigated multiple lineup changes and a temporary split in 2013, releasing albums including Popel a prach, Posledni jizda, and a split LP with Life Possession.
