Aftermath Eternal brings heavy metal with metalcore elements from the Greater Manchester town of Bury since 2013, channeling Lancashire's working-class determination into anthemic compositions. Over a decade of activity speaks to the northwest's enduring metal spirit.
Aftermath Massacre has ground out grindcore from Macerata in the Marche hills since 2024, bringing blastbeat fury to a province better known for opera and Renaissance art. Their unsubtle name captures the pure devastation of their short, sharp compositions.
