please update this band
Stoner doom and drone band from Belém, Pará, Brazil, active since 2018. They self-released Demo Sessions in March 2018 and followed it with Demo Sessions Vol II in March 2019, both featuring extended tracks in the five-to-seven-minute range rooted in heavy, psychedelic riffing.
Portland, Oregon's Reptilikus came roaring out in 2019 with the kind of speed-driven, riff-forward thrash that pays direct homage to Bay Area's early-80s aggression. In a city with a thriving underground scene, they've sharpened their sound on the whetstone of Pacific Northwest metal traditions. Infectious, frantic, and unapologetically old-school.
Reptiloid is a Berlin-based blackened sludge metal project formed in 2018, self-describing their sound as 'acid sludge from Berlin.' Their 2018 album Déclin delivers four tracks of experimental, corroded sludge incorporating noise, post-metal, and industrial textures.
Repudiate is a brutal death metal band from Paris, France, formed in 2017. The band delivers uncompromising brutality from the French capital's extreme metal underground.
