Vengeful Atonement is a metalcore band from Coventry, England, formed in 2018. They deliver aggressive metalcore with dynamic arrangements.
Venom Prison formed in South Wales in 2014, fronted by vocalist Larissa Stupar, and built their reputation on a confrontational brand of death metal that incorporated metalcore and grindcore intensity with explicitly feminist and socially critical lyrical content. Their debut Animus (2016) drew immediate attention from extreme metal circles, and Samsara (2019) and Erebos (2022) furthered their profile through extensive international touring. The band put their activity on hold after 2022.
Vera Cruz was formed in Paris in 2009, blending melodic hardcore and metalcore with a raw rock 'n' roll edge. The band released their debut EP Surviving Farrah Fawcett in 2010 and followed it with their full-length Skinandteethandnails, which captured the volatile intensity that made them a fixture on the European hardcore circuit alongside acts such as Terror, Every Time I Die, and Cancer Bats. The band disbanded in 2015 after several years of relentless touring across Europe.
Verne is a melodic death metal and metalcore act from Vienna, Austria, formed in 2017. They blend aggressive metalcore breakdowns with melodic death metal's twin-guitar harmonies and dynamic vocal interplay.
