Lafayette, Indiana's Emulsified deal in brutal death metal with the blunt efficiency of a surgical saw — unadorned, punishing, and exactly as grotesque as the name implies since 2017.
Out of California's high-desert community of Yucca Valley, Emulsified Flesh have been splicing grindcore's manic velocity to death metal's rotting heaviness since 2012.
Death/thrash metal and grindcore hybrid from Torrelavega in Cantabria, Spain, delivering chaotic three-genre extremity since 2003. Their two-decade career of genre-blending aggression makes them a veteran force in the Spanish underground.

The four-piece, comprising Diguinho Ferreira on vocals and guitar, Davi Caruccio on guitar, Leo Heldwein on bass, and Bia Martins on drums, released recordings including the demo Rehearsal Tapes and tracks Decease of Humanity and The Ruin of The Lord before going on hold.
