Audhumpla is a death and thrash metal band from Dresden, Germany, formed in 2018, whose tongue-in-cheek releases like Udders of Men, Udder Destruction, and Chronicles of M'uh: The Endboss Trilogy reveal a band that pairs extreme metal aggression with irreverent bovine-themed humor. The band's name references Audhumla, the primeval cow from Norse mythology.
Aura Noir has been a critical force in black thrash metal from Oslo since their formation, with their 2012-onward activity continuing a legacy that helped define the style alongside Darkthrone and Mayhem members.
