Out of Santa Ana, California, Nug have been pummeling eardrums with their brand of slam and brutal death metal since 2018. The band leans hard into bone-cracking breakdowns and guttural extremity, placing them squarely in the Southern California tradition of no-frills, bowel-loosening brutality.
Nugatory is a death metal band from Skorping in North Jutland, active since 2017. The band's name meaning 'worthless' belies the substantial death metal they deliver from rural Denmark.

San Antonio's Nuisance have been a cornerstone of the city's heavy underground since forming in 1988, outlasting trends through sheer weight and conviction. Their doom and sludge metal draws on decades of lived experience, delivering slow-burn punishment with the kind of grim authority that only comes from nearly forty years in the trenches.
Death metal act from the small Drenthe village of Emmer-Compascuum with roots stretching back to 1988, making them one of the Netherlands' oldest death metal bands. Their nearly four decades of brutality from one of the most remote corners of the country speaks to remarkable dedication.
