Dithmarschen's Pain Machine has been welding together thrash, death, and groove metal since 2012, creating a triple-threat assault from the North Frisian marshlands. Their genre-blending approach produces a sound heavier than any single style could achieve alone.
Thrash metal band from Ostersund, Sweden, formed in 2017, delivering thrash metal fury from the Jamtland region of northern Sweden. They bring aggressive riffing from above the 63rd parallel.
Thrash and death metal band from Lisbon, Portugal, active since 2000, making them one of the longest-running extreme metal acts in the Portuguese capital. A quarter century of pain-struck aggression marks them as true veterans.
