Catania heavy metal act formed in 2020, delivering classic metal power from the shadow of Mount Etna in eastern Sicily. Their traditional approach channels the primal energy of heavy metal's foundational traditions.
Cincinnati's Nobody have been cultivating post-black metal introspection since 2018, threading atmospheric density and emotional weight through the black metal framework in ways that feel genuinely searching. Operating under a Bandcamp presence shared with the striking "videsuicide" handle, they push into the more melancholic and expansive post-black territory, where blast and tremolo give way to texture and mood.
Wisconsin's Nobody — a separate entity from their Cincinnati namesake — have been working groove and thrash metal since 2018 with the straightforward muscle that both genres demand. Their sound favors the mid-paced groove over flat-out thrash velocity, building riffs with the kind of density and swing that rewards repeated listening, representing a quietly tenacious corner of the Midwest's underground metal scene.
