Sofia melodic death/metalcore band founded in January 2013 by guitarist and vocalist Liubomir Kabakov alongside guitarist Teodor Dimitrov and bassist Nikolay Stoichkov. Their debut album Fighting Myself (2016), recorded at the Delusional Thoughts Studio in Sofia, draws heavily from the Swedish melodic death metal tradition alongside American NWOAHM acts like In Flames and Five Finger Death Punch. The eleven-track record established them as one of the more accessible melodic extreme metal acts in Bulgaria's capital.

Louisville's Tehillah have been weaponizing blackened death metal since 2015, drawing on Kentucky's tradition of serious, no-frills heavy music and pushing it into the pitch-black extremes.
