Warthenas is a black metal band from Mexico City, active since at least 2002 under the name The Howl before rebranding, with themes rooted in darkness, war, blasphemy, and Satanism. The duo — Black Warth on vocals, bass, and guitars, and Aiwass on drums — released their debut demo The Devil Awaits... in 2016 through Satanic Reaper Records. The five-track release opens with an intro and moves through raw, relentless cuts like "Night of Relentless Evil" and "Denying the Worthless."

WarTorn came up in Salisbury, Maryland in 2014, bringing a classic thrash metal sensibility to the Eastern Shore with genuine aggression and technical purpose. Salisbury sits outside the Baltimore-DC heavy metal axis, and the band carries the chip-on-the-shoulder energy of a scene that has to work harder for recognition. Their thrash is tight, mean, and built to last.

They arrived ready to inflict serious damage.
