Eindhoven death metal/grindcore act formed in 2023, emerging from a Dutch city with legendary status in extreme metal thanks to its annual Neurotic Deathfest legacy. Their fusion of death metal weight with grindcore velocity fits the city's uncompromising reputation.
Lahti death metal/grindcore project formed in 2023, pairing death metal's guttural weight with grindcore's explosive brevity. Their approach strips both genres to their most essential and violent components.

Eboli grindcore act from Campania, active since 2015. Named after a nuclear disaster, their grindcore delivers similarly explosive, short-burst devastation from southern Italy's Cilento coast.
Athens' One of These Days grinds through an uncompromising fusion of death metal and grindcore, delivering short, sharp bursts of controlled chaos. Their aggressive approach channels the intensity of early Napalm Death and Terrorizer.
