Rooted in the aggressive traditions of Kreator, Sepultura, and Violator, the band released their debut demo "Awakening the Slaughter" in 2017 and followed it with the full-length "Apocalyptic Future" via Kill Again Records in 2020, plus the "Nuclear Remains" EP in 2023.
Milanese sludgecore outfit active since 2019, grinding through releases including their full-length DHARMA, the Flora album, Limbico, and a split with Sator. Their sound fuses sludge metal's crushing weight with hardcore punk's aggressive velocity.

Wielding thrash metal as their weapon, this Swedish outfit has been refining their craft since 2022. Their sound hinges on galloping rhythms and shredding leads that recall metal's golden age, delivered with brute-force conviction.
Death metal and melodic death metal band from Kotka, Finland active since 2013. They deliver powerful melodic death metal from the southeastern Finnish coast.
Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom — black metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2026, they deal in frigid atmospherics and razor-wire guitar tone. Blast beats and shrieked vocals create an impenetrable wall of darkness.
Massachusetts melodic death and black metal act Evil Earth has been cultivating a sound that sits at the intersection of melody and darkness since 2015. Their approach pulls from both the sweeping melodic death tradition and black metal's colder, more atmospheric tendencies, resulting in music that refuses to settle comfortably into either camp.
Evil Emperor is a black/death metal band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, founded in 2002 by guitarist Eduardo Fallavena. The band plays an aggressive and diversified sound rooted in supernatural and bloody lyrical themes, and has released multiple albums including a self-titled record in 2012, "Curse of the Obscene", and "Debutant", all on Rotten Foetus Productions.
