Novus Orsa from Red Bluff, California have been developing their brand of death metal since 2015 in one of the state's more isolated corners, far from the major urban scenes. That geographic remove seems to have focused their sound inward — a death metal project built with deliberate intent, operating with the patience of a band answerable only to themselves.
Nowen is a death/thrash metal band from Lahti, Finland, active since 2005, with a catalog of four albums including Peace With Death and Where Hell Begins. Their music explores themes of mortality, fear, and darkness through a relentless fusion of death and thrash metal.
