An avant-garde and progressive death metal band from Sofia, Bulgaria, rooted in the earlier project ITSI, where guitarist and chief composer Tony and harsh vocalist Milko originally collaborated.

A deathcore act from the French Riviera city of Cannes, Moghan-Ra delivers crushing breakdowns far from the red carpet glamour the city is known for. Active since 2016, the band provides a heavy counterpoint to the Côte d'Azur's reputation for luxury.
Mogila Deathcult is a death metal band from Požarevac, Serbia, self-described as 'the last bastion of Stygian death metal.'
