Drawing on the crushing elevation of their Colorado Springs home, Matterhorn plays sludge and doom metal that sounds like altitude sickness made audible. Since 2019, their slow, suffocating riffs have made them a standout in a Mountain West scene not typically known for either style.

Mauled is a death/thrash metal and crust punk act from Naples, formed in 2025. The band merges the aggression of extreme metal with the raw energy of crust punk from southern Italy's chaotic capital.
Maunra are a blackened sludge and post-metal band from Vienna, Austria, who released their debut full-length 'Monarch' in September 2022 after five years of developing their sound. The album — recorded, mixed, and produced by Hannes Mottl, and mastered at Tonmeisterei Oldenburg — spans seven tracks that the band describes as 'a journey between the realms of decay and becoming.' Unlike many post-metal acts, Maunra anchor their sound firmly in riff worship rather than pure atmosphere.
