Formed in 2018 in Landeck, Tyrol, Greyback play a multifaceted melodic death metal rooted in aggression and melody, with additional thrash and black metal flourishes, drawing several members from the earlier Tyrolean act Avenging Angels.

Louisville, Kentucky's Greyhaven emerged in 2013 with a brand of chaotic, noise-infused metalcore that feels genuinely dangerous. Their albums 'Empty Black' and 'This Bright and Beautiful World' pair dissonant guitar work with frantic vocal delivery, creating a sound that's as intellectually stimulating as it is viscerally intense. The band's refusal to follow trends in favor of their own abrasive vision has earned them a devoted following among fans of adventurous heavy music.
