Edinburgh thrash metal band formed in 2012, focused on progressive, intricate songwriting inspired by early nineties technical thrash rather than eighties nostalgia. Four releases deep from Incinerator through 2025's Scenes of Agony, they deliver complex, ambitious thrash with a no-compromise philosophy.
Komsomolsk-on-Amur-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2018, conjuring thick clouds of fuzz-laden riffage and hypnotic, groove-driven compositions. Their sound channels the haze of 1970s proto-metal through a modern lens of distortion-worship and lysergic exploration.
