Mandroid of Krypton is a progressive thrash metal and punk band from Geneva, Switzerland, formed in 2012, whose sci-fi-themed music has been described as 'early Voivod meets Dead Kennedys meets Mayhem.' Featuring Gabriel Farine on vocals and guitar, Sylvain Charbonnaz on guitar, Tim Robert-Charrue on bass, and Romain Graf on drums, their 2024 album 'Cosmic Sarcophagus' blends dystopian science fiction themes with radical ecological viewpoints through raw, adventurous thrash punk.
Manhattan Century are a progressive metal band from Upper Austria, founded by brothers Alexander and Florian Artner, with Ritchie Krenmaier (of Stygma IV) on vocals and Michael Notter on drums. Their debut EP 'APE,' recorded during the pandemic, recounts the story of an early human civilization encountering an all-knowing entity across 25 minutes of dense, concept-driven metal. The follow-up album 'MAN' continues that narrative, addressing alienation and the tension between individualism and collectivism in an overstimulated world.
