Boston trio pulling misanthropic sludge/death metal from the swampy depths, with thick murky riffs, drummer Deb Dire handling lead vocals, and lyrical themes centered on environmental destruction and human cruelty in the vein of 1990s sludge forebears Dystopia and Eyehategod. Their 2025 album Humanity Is Killing Us All double down on the crust-punk rawness and deliberate ugliness that have defined their catalog since forming in 2021.
The Owl is a melodic death metal/metalcore band from Athens, formed in 2018. Their music combines the melodic guitar harmonies of melodic death metal with the aggressive breakdowns of metalcore.
