Dublin act that evolved from thrash metal origins into alternative rock territory, reflecting a creative trajectory that moved toward more accessible sonic frameworks since 2017. Their stylistic transformation demonstrates the breadth of artistic ambition within Ireland's underground.
Seattle's Reviled have been fusing black and death metal into something caustic and extreme since 2017, drawing on both traditions without fully surrendering to either. The black/death combination gives their music a fevered quality — the atmospheric menace of black metal colliding with death metal's sheer physical force — and Seattle's grey, rain-soaked environment seems like a fitting birthplace for something this unrelenting. The Bandcamp URL referencing Texas adds an intriguing wrinkle to what is otherwise a thoroughly Pacific Northwest-rooted sound.
