The band released a demo, "The Persistent Onslaught of the Witch," in 2023 followed by the EP "Nuclear Speed Ritual" in 2024, playing under the Unsigned/independent banner with themes of death, blasphemy, and rock 'n' roll.

Formed in Beroun in 2023, Atomic Wardead play crossover thrash with the high-velocity energy of Death Angel and the party-thrash spirit of Municipal Waste, releasing their debut full-length Beware the Dead in March 2024. Within months of forming, the young four-piece embarked on their first tour across Czechia and Germany.
Cleveland, Ohio thrash metal project with five releases since 2019. The Void Curse EP and subsequent singles blend occult themes with nuclear imagery, forging a distinctive identity in the Rock City's competitive thrash scene.
