Swedish raw black metal band from Trollhattan, active since 2009 and channeling lo-fi hostility through over a decade of underground commitment. Their provocative name adds transgressive edge to their raw black metal approach.
Latifundio was a heavy metal band from Concordia, Entre Ríos, built around brothers Alejandro Ferrando (vocals) and Pablo Ferrando (drums), joined by guitarist Matías "Bochi" Benítez. The band released two independent albums — "Herejías" (2004) and "Piel de Metal" (2017) — with lyrics addressing social, religious, and political themes.
Anonymous* Activist Band, focused on immigrant rights and the cultures that bring life to the Americas. Fast shredding 8 string guitar riffs accompanied by pummeling drums and accented soundscapes brings the listener on a chaotic journey.
London-based sludge/post-metal band active since 2007, releasing their album 'Part Island' on Debemur Morti Productions. Their sound weaves emotive metallic power with dream-state vulnerability, combining melodic black metal, contemplative doom, and shoegaze with acoustic guitar, piano, and analogue synthesizer.
German thrash metal band from Ulm, active since 2013 with a sound rooted in classic thrash traditions. Their approach delivers the genre's characteristic speed, aggression, and razor-sharp riffing.
Roseburg, Oregon's Latter Day Exploits weld industrial metal's mechanical hostility to black metal's nihilistic fire — a claustrophobic combination built for the digital age's darkest corners.
Swiss death metal act from Zurich with a long history stretching back to 1999 and an extensive discography. Their catalog spans numerous full-lengths and EPs, delivering consistent death metal brutality over more than two decades.
Blackened grindcore colliding with death metal at full speed, Laughing and Lying produce short, violent bursts of noise designed to disorient and devastate in equal measure.
Laura Jane Grace is best known as the founder and frontwoman of Against Me!, whose 2014 album 'Transgender Dysphoria Blues' became a landmark in punk rock history as one of the first major punk records to address transgender identity head-on. As a solo artist, her work strips back the punk fury to reveal raw, confessional folk-punk songwriting rooted in her experiences with gender dysphoria, addiction, and resilience. Her memoir 'Tranny' and her body of work have made her one of punk's most important and courageous voices.
