Absolutism is a technical death metal and grindcore band from Barcelona, Spain, formed in 2022, featuring Will Bedonow on guitars, Emre Akan on vocals, Jesper Boenigk on drums, and Gaspar Del Valle on bass.

Fans of Blasphemy and Conqueror will find kindred savagery here — the album's cavernous production and relentless blasting have been praised as 'utterly and unrelentingly anti-anthropic death metal.'
Aborigen is a death, black metal, and grindcore band from Murcia, Spain, formed in 2022, fusing three of extreme metal's most aggressive subgenres into a relentless sonic assault. The band channels the intensity of the Mediterranean climate into their blistering crossover of extreme styles.
