Dysrhythmia is an instrumental progressive metal trio formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1998 by guitarist Kevin Hufnagel and drummer Jeff Eber, later joined by bassist Colin Marston of Behold...The Arctopus. The band relocated to Brooklyn and released their Relapse debut Pretest (2003), named one of Metal Hammer's top ten essential mathcore albums. Their prolific discography extends through Coffin of Conviction (2024) on Profound Lore Records, consistently exploring dense, jazz-informed technical metal without vocals.
Dyssebeia is a progressive blackened death metal band from Geneva, Switzerland, whose 2023 debut 'Garden of Stillborn Idols' on Transcending Obscurity Records was hailed as a technical masterpiece. Drawing comparisons to Be'lakor and At The Gates, the four-piece crafts intricate, emotionally-driven compositions that balance aggression with contemplative depth.
