Epitafio is a death metal band from Maracay, Venezuela, that emerged in 2016. Their debut release, the digital EP III Operis Tertium (2016), delivers four tracks of punishing, riff-driven death metal with Latin-language track titles reflecting dark and hellish themes. The band operates independently out of the Aragua state metal underground.
Poland — death metal and groove metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2026, they deal in percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
