Grisvelos is a one-man black/death metal project from Osorno, Los Lagos, Chile, created by Alfredo Torres, who also plays bass and backing vocals in the black/thrash band Degotten. The project debuted in August 2020 with the full-length "Desperatio," a nearly 50-minute album drawing from the influence of Morbid Angel, Immolation, and Marduk while channeling the band's description of Osorno as a cold, decadent city into music that blends ferocity with melodic, nostalgic atmosphere.
Griszmo are a Vienna-based multi-vocal grindcore and crust punk outfit whose sound drags death metal, thrash, and hardcore punk into a blunt, politically confrontational blend. Their 2019 album Vehement documents this aggressive collision of styles with tracks like Glastroika.
