Their releases including the EPs Stem the Tide and Portraits earned them recognition in the British underground for their blend of crushing brutality and melodic hardcore passion.
Die Vorboten started as a death/folk metal band in the coastal city of Wismar before transitioning into industrial hard rock, tracing one of the more unusual genre arcs in the German underground.

DieBartDie is a death metal and deathcore project from Hereford, England, created by A.D. Marcovecchio, who also performs as Ascaris.

Dieblast is a death/thrash/groove metal band from Santiago, Chile, formed around 2015 and anchored by Christian Argandoña (ex-Thornafire) on vocals and bass alongside producer Pablo Navarrete of Hielo Negro on bass, Eddie Valdebenito on guitar, and Fernando Rojas on drums. The band made their public debut in early 2022 with the politically charged single "Caos, Sangre, Peste," recorded at Panzound Estudios.
