One-man black metal project from Salihorsk, Belarus, started in 2018. The Cities of Dust release showcases raw, stripped-down black metal shaped by isolation and bleakness.
Crown Magnetar exploded out of Colorado Springs in 2017 with a brand of technical deathcore that pairs virtuosic instrumentation with unrelenting brutality. Vocalist Dan Tucker's guttural assault over intricate guitar work and blast beats on their debut EP 'The Prophet of Disgust' immediately caught the attention of the extreme metal underground. Their album 'Everything Bleeds' on Unique Leader Records cemented their status as one of the most punishing acts in modern deathcore.
