Hellige is a black/sludge/doom metal project from Morón, Buenos Aires, that began as raw black metal recordings before evolving into a heavier, more atmospheric sound. Their 2021 album "Camino de agua", released through Dying Sun Records and mixed and mastered by Facundo Brinville, is the product of material written and recorded between 2014 and 2021.
Rooted in Newcastle upon Tyne's underground, this stoner/groove metal project delivers volatile compositions with conviction since 2012. Energetic performances and committed songwriting define their approach.
Hellish is a death metal band from Imola (Bologna), Italy, active since 2020 and delivering uncompromising extremity through crushing riffs and guttural vocals. The project channels the relentless brutality of the genre.

Hellish Fist is a one-man black speed metal project from Pereira (operating out of Dosquebradas), Colombia, formed in 2019 by the sole member known as Crossfucker. The project released the EP Alliance of Necrofuckers in September 2019 followed by Street Command in June 2020 via Metal Force Records, both rooted in the raw, lo-fi spirit of old-school speed metal and evil rock and roll. Drawing on Bathory and classic NWOBHM aggression, Hellish Fist pays direct homage to the old masters of underground metal.

Hellish Form push doom to its most suffocating extreme, folding sludge's abrasive texture into funeral doom's glacial pace and near-unbearable weight. Formed in 2020, they embrace desolation as an art form — slow, suffocating, and strangely beautiful.
