Disfallen plays doom/death metal from the Atlantic port city of Kristiansund, formed in 2022 and channeling Norway's coastal weather into slow, heavy compositions. Their name's suggestion of falling from grace carries into music that descends slowly and inevitably into crushing darkness.
Disfear is a Swedish d-beat and crust punk band founded in 1989 in Nyköping by guitarist Björn Peterson and bassist Henke Frykman. Their core sound draws from Discharge's raw urgency, and following early albums Soul Scars (1995) and Everyday Slaughter (1997), the band recruited At the Gates vocalist Tomas Lindberg, whose death metal inflection sharpened their attack on Misanthropic Generation (2003) and Live the Storm (2008), the latter recorded with Converge's Kurt Ballou and featuring Entombed's Uffe Cederlund.

Columbus, Ohio's Disfigurement have been crafting punishment in the brutal death metal and slam tradition since 2012, wielding the dense, pulverizing riff architecture that defines the Midwest's underground death scene.
