Gargoyl formed in 2018 as a collaboration between Revocation guitarist Dave Davidson and guitarist/vocalist Luke Roberts, who met while on tour and discovered a shared musical sensibility rooted in progressive metal, 1990s grunge, and avant-garde rock. The project's self-titled debut (2020), released via Season of Mist, blends dark, dissonant progressive metal structures with Alice in Chains-influenced vocal harmonies and a brooding alternative rock atmosphere that diverges significantly from Davidson's main band. Rounded out by bassist Brett Leier and drummer James Knoerl, the band demonstrated that Davidson's compositional range extends well beyond death metal's conventional parameters.

Formed in Poughkeepsie, New York in 2004, Genghis Tron built an early reputation on their disorienting fusion of blast-beat grindcore and programmed electronic sequences, eschewing a live drummer entirely on their first releases. Their 2006 debut Dead Mountain Mouth on Crucial Blast and the 2008 Relapse Records follow-up Board Up the House pushed cybergrind into challenging IDM and ambient territory. After a decade-long hiatus, the band returned in 2021 with Dream Weapon, recorded with Kurt Ballou, featuring their first human drummer and a more meditative, psychedelic direction.
