New York's MKDelta blend hardcore sludge and doom into a punishing, slow-grinding sound that leans on suffocating riffs and bleak atmosphere. Formed in 2022, the band describes their music as something that will make you want to quit your job — a fair warning for the faint-hearted.

A New York outfit occupying the furthest reaches of slam and brutal death metal, Mnemonic Wetbrain Syndrome have been piling on low-tuned, guttural punishment since 2008.
