Matricidium plays straight-ahead thrash metal rooted in the aggressive tradition of early Brazilian and US thrash, releasing their debut album 'Rise the Army' in 2012 through MS Metal Records and following it with an expanded European edition in 2014. In October 2015 the band completed their first European tour across nine countries, playing 15 shows in 23 days and establishing themselves beyond the domestic circuit.
A thrash metal act from the Lincolnshire town of Stamford, Matricyde has been delivering aggressive thrash since 2020. The band brings high-speed metal aggression to the east Midlands underground.
Boston's Matriphagy emerged in 2019 armed with the kind of brutal death metal that hits like a concrete wall — dense, pulverizing, and technically unforgiving. Their name alone signals an appetite for extremity that their music fully delivers.

East Hartford's Matt Danger blends progressive metal ambition with metalcore intensity, threading intricate arrangements through aggressive heaviness. Since 2012, the Connecticut act has pushed that tension in directions most bands in either genre wouldn't dare.
Knoxville's Matt Harnett approaches progressive metal as a solo composer and instrumentalist, letting long, sprawling compositions breathe and evolve at their own pace. His work since 2013 sits in the quieter, more cerebral corner of prog metal's broad spectrum.
Matt Harvey is a California-based musician who founded the death metal and grindcore band Exhumed in 1990 at the age of fifteen, guiding the band through more than three decades and multiple stylistic evolutions rooted in the carnage-obsessed tradition of Carcass and Repulsion. Beyond Exhumed, Harvey co-founded Gruesome, a project explicitly designed to pay homage to Death's early albums Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy, along with additional projects including Pounder and Left to Die. His prolific involvement across multiple death metal acts has made him one of the central figures in West Coast American extreme metal.
