Formed in 1981 in Birmingham, UK, Napalm Death are the undisputed pioneers of
grindcore. Known for their blistering speed, crushing riffs, and politically charged lyrics, they’ve influenced generations of extreme metal bands. With decades of relentless touring and countless classic albums, they remain a force to be reckoned with in the metal world. Expect chaos, intensity, and sheer sonic power when they hit the stage.

Louisiana’s finest, Eyehategod are an absolute essential act to experience. With their violent sound and uncompromising lyrics, the band embodies the very essence of Southern sludge metal. Their music is a visceral assault on the senses, leaving listeners confused, drenched in moral ambiguity and with an addictive craving for more.

Misery Index take their name from the economic indicator that expresses the economic situation of the average Joe in relation to the current unemployment rate. It is also the name of the last album of Florida death grind meisters Assück, whom Misery Index quote as a source of inspiration. Founded in the early 21st century in Baltimore, Misery Index are a death metal outfit that incorporates hardcore punk and grindcore elements into their music. Their lyrics are anti-establishment and dissect the ills of modern society.

Their debut ‘Retaliate’ (2003) is every bit as aggressive as you might expect of ex-Dying Fetus members Jason Netherton (bass/vocals) and Sparky Voyles (guitar). A collection of 10 bludgeoning tracks deliver savagery from start to finish without unnecessary frills. Extensive touring and a universally praised, more varied sophomore album (‘Discordia’, 2006) helped cement their reputation on the extreme metal scene. Several critically acclaimed albums followed such as 2014’s ‘The Killing Gods’ with its more intricate and melodic approach. Their new album, ‘Complete Control’, is set for a May 2022 release and features nine pandemic-spawned tracks that draw heavily on the band’s enduring brutal hardcore and grindcore influences.
