Death metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2019. They deliver crushing, filthy death metal from the Finnish capital.

Durham, North Carolina trio Church of Wolves traffic in hazy sludge and stoner doom, building slow-burning songs around thick southern fuzz and oppressive low-end weight. Their sound evokes smoke-filled rooms and the long, grinding hours of a southern summer.
Black metal band from Romney Marsh in Kent, England, active since 2006. They craft atmospheric black metal inspired by the desolate marshlands of the English Channel coast.
