Connecticut's Margo have been pushing a death metal and deathcore hybrid out of Wallingford since 2015, with a sound that emphasizes heaviness and intensity over any tendency toward accessibility. Exactly what you'd expect from a band that has no interest in being easy.

Brian Hugh Warner transformed himself into Marilyn Manson, one of rock's most provocative and polarizing figures, merging industrial metal's abrasive sonics with glam rock theatricality and deliberate cultural provocation. Albums like 'Antichrist Superstar' and 'Mechanical Animals' sold millions while generating constant controversy, making Manson a lightning rod for debates about art, censorship, and morality in the late 1990s. His influence on the visual aesthetics of heavy music and his role as rock's preeminent provocateur defined an era of mainstream extremity.
Marion is a heavy metal band from Grenaa in the Djursland region of Denmark, formed in 2016. They forge classic heavy metal rooted in the genre's timeless traditions of powerful riffing and anthemic songwriting.
A melodic death metal act from Gothenburg, the birthplace of the genre, Marionette has been crafting harmonized aggression since 2009. The band channels the puppet imagery of their name into compositions that pull between beauty and brutality.
