Four-piece thrash metal band from Suffolk, England, featuring Sue Clark on vocals, Rob Durrant on guitar and vocals, Tim Franklin on bass, and Aaron Boast on drums. Their discography spans from the 2011 Blood Removal Machines EP through 2016's The Leaving, delivering classic UK thrash with speed metal intensity.

KEN Mode — the acronym stands for Kill Everyone Now — is a noise rock band formed in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1999 by brothers Jesse and Shane Matthewson. The group earned a Juno Award for Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year for their Kurt Ballou-produced LP Venerable (2011, Profound Lore), which refined their assault of metallic noise rock, sludge, and post-hardcore. Subsequent albums including Loved (2018, produced by Andrew Schneider) and Null (2022, Artoffact Records) have pushed the band toward darker, more industrial-tinged territory.
Progressive metal project from Lyon, active since 2009 and delivering over fifteen years of bass-driven, technically ambitious compositions. Their bass-focused project name signals the low-end-heavy foundation of their progressive sound.
