Aletheia is a stoner and thrash metal band from the Bayreuth and Nuremberg area of Germany, formed in 2013, merging the groove-heavy weight of stoner metal with thrash's speed and bite. The band brings a dual-city energy to their aggressive yet riff-driven sound.
Alligator Rodeo is a sludge and doom metal band from Detmold, Germany, formed around 2014, who describe themselves as a hate-filled sludge factory lurking in the humid swamps of heavy music. Their releases, including Ghost in the Machine and Optimists Club, deliver slow, crushing doom punctuated by aggressive vocals and uptempo attacks.
