A melodic death metal band from Belgium formed around guitarist Tim Bekaert, who launched the project after the dissolution of previous bands and assembled a lineup that recorded the debut album 'Dress Code: Blood' (2021) via Wormholedeath Records with drummer Adrian Erlandsson (At the Gates, The Haunted) and mixing by Dan Swanö. Their sophomore record 'Feeding the Machine' (2024), recorded at Galaxy Studios and released on Massacre Records, sharpened their blend of Scandinavian melodic precision with US death metal groove, and a third album is expected in late 2026.
Mordloch is a deathgrind band from Kolín, Czech Republic, whose 2022 self-titled debut channels the crushing influence of Asphyx, Autopsy, and Bolt Thrower into seven tracks of punishing, raw-produced death metal. All four members contribute vocals, creating a wall of guttural aggression layered over doom-tinged riffing and grindcore blasts.
