Saint Paul's Impaler have been sharpening their blades since 2014, channeling the raw voltage of speed metal through the no-nonsense attitude of classic heavy metal. Think leather and lightning in the upper Midwest.

Infection is a speed metal band from Bretten, Germany, active since 2007, delivering blistering, velocity-driven metal in the tradition of the genre's late-1980s peak. Nearly two decades in, the band remains committed to the pure adrenaline rush of high-speed riffing.
Infernal Assault is a black/speed metal band from Koblenz, Germany, active since 2008, blending the raw ferocity of black metal with the relentless velocity of speed metal. The band delivers a blistering hybrid from the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers.
Infernal Attack was a black/thrash/speed metal band from Itabaiana, Brazil, featuring guitarist and vocalist Jhonata Hellfire and drummer Julio Hellbutcher. The band released the EP Eternal Desire in 2020 through Sacrifice Records of Portugal as a hand-numbered limited cassette edition of 70 copies. The release was described as "unholy black/thrash from Brazil" and represents the band's key recorded output before their split.
