Fervent Hate is a death 'n' roll band from Arequipa, Peru, formed in 2008 and known for blending death metal aggression with hard rock grooves and crushing riffs. Signed to Satanath Records, the band has released three full-lengths — Roads of Insanity (2013), Tales of Hate, Lust and Chaos (2018), and In Rot We Trust (2024) — alongside appearances on Peruvian metal compilations including Compilatorio Arequipa Metal 1.
Fessus is an old-school death metal band from Vienna, formed in 2023, drawing equally from US and Finnish death metal — citing Autopsy, Obituary, Demilich, and Funebre as primary influences. Their debut demo "Pilgrims of Morbidity" (recorded in Favoriten, Vienna in summer 2023) and the live album "Thresholds of Morbidity" (2024) established them quickly as one of the most compelling new death metal acts in the Austrian underground.

The compilation From Demo to Rot (2024) collected their earliest recordings and a live set, documenting the progression from raw basement goregrind to a more structured studio sound.
