Port Angeles, Washington's Prolapser throw thrash metal, grindcore, and powerviolence into a blender and hit the highest setting, producing something chaotic, loud, and deliberately excessive.

They're a characteristically irreverent and unruly presence from the Pacific Northwest's rugged underground.
Formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 2017, Promession deal in the ugliest end of the death metal spectrum, blending brutal death metal and goregrind into a suffocating wall of blast beats and guttural punishment.
