Uncompromising death metal from Niedrzwica Duża, active since 2016. Their material trades in the genre's heaviest traditions: cavernous vocals, churning guitar work, and percussion that hits with tectonic force.

Blast Bitch is a Buenos Aires death metal and grindcore trio featuring vocalist Constanza Liberte, drummer Arihell Ledo Agüero, and guitarist Pely Macchi. Their 2019 debut album Sociedad Manipulada — recorded at Tribal Record in Ramos Mejía — delivers 11 tracks addressing police repression, violence against women, and institutional corruption.
Punishing brutal death metal from Saint Petersburg, formed in 2024. Guttural vocals scrape the basement of human register while churning riffs and gravity-blast percussion pummel with mechanical precision.
Seregno (Monza)-based melodic death metal/metalcore act active since 2013, blending Gothenburg-inspired guitar harmonies with metalcore's dynamic structures and breakdown-driven intensity. Their sound bridges the melodic death metal tradition with modern extreme metal's visceral energy.
