Punishing brutal death metal from Milan, formed in 2015. Guttural vocals scrape the basement of human register while churning riffs and gravity-blast percussion pummel with mechanical precision.
Roman grindcore provocateurs formed in 2007, injecting irreverent humor and pop-culture satire into their blasting assault. Their tongue-in-cheek approach and food-obsessed themes make them one of Italy's most distinctive extreme metal acts.
Progressive death metal outfit from Voronezh, formed in 2015. Their material navigates shifting tempos, unconventional song structures, and intricate instrumental interplay while maintaining the genre's essential aggression.
Grindcore act from Arnhem, formed in 2023. Their music exists in a state of perpetual detonation, packing blast beats and screamed vocals into compositions that rarely exceed the two-minute mark.
Bristol-based brutal death metal outfit active since 2013, delivering relentless blastbeat-driven punishment and guttural vocal extremity. Their compositions trade in the genre's heaviest currency: slamming breakdowns, inhuman vocals, and wall-to-wall brutality.
Borås-based doom metal act active since 2020, crafting monolithic compositions built on slow-burning riffs and an atmosphere of pervasive heaviness. Their patient approach to songwriting lets each chord ring with crushing finality.
Death metal and grindcore band from Zofingen, Switzerland, active since 2017. They pair death metal's heaviness with grindcore's blasting intensity.
Burn the Mankind is a technical death metal and grindcore band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, founded by guitarist Marcos Moura, a former member of Brazilian death metal act Nephasth. The band released their debut album "To Beyond" in 2015 and followed it with the conceptual EP "Chaos Matter" in 2020 via Cianeto Discos, the latter built around the four phases of human alchemy. Their current lineup includes members with ties to several prominent Brazilian extreme metal bands.
Piedmont-based black metal/noise project active since 2024, submerging their compositions in walls of static and feedback that blur the line between music and pure sonic assault. Their confrontational approach weaponizes dissonance and distortion.
