Phoenix Rising – Kings of other Wings We have a ritual; the two guitarists like to get together when they write, and they come up with some of the best-written stuff. They smoke and smoke and tell you how good it is, then they listen the next day and realise that they should have had…
…From Dead Horizon to Dead Horizon – Kyle Shaw Art: Skaðvaldur Bio: Conjured in 2016, Obscene is a death metal quartet from Indianapolis, Indiana.

Of Soil Unearthed – Deathcult Art: Stefan Todorović We deal with abstract, religious themes, or rather the many and varied excesses of a spiritual, sick mind. But we don’t limit ourselves too much within. We want to convey content in our lyrics that go beyond the usual scheme and allows listeners to express their ideas…
Convergence – Tommaso Cappelletti Art: James McCarthy When writing music, we’re only stuck to the riffs and the atmosphere we want to create. Strict philosophies can be a limiting condition in life; they don’t let you 100% appreciate all the shades of this world. We mostly started out of curiosity and because we were attracted…

Firescorched – Tommy Talamanca Art: Paolo Puppo Within the band, we are all practising agnostic atheists. We don’t believe in God or Satan. Life itself is constant waves between two phases: happiness and sorrow. No artist would write, paint or compose anything during the stage of happiness. I can talk about myself: I’m a ‘fatalist’:…
Bit Meseri The Incantation – Spectrum Mortis Art: Khaos Diktator Design Our record revolves around Mesopotamian culture. Our idea was to investigate and inquire into that culture and civilisation. The curious thing about this process was to see how it is easy to establish parallels between that culture and the current one despite the physical…
Seraphic Punishment – Maul Art: Jason Barnett Maul is a five-piece Death Metal band from Fargo, North Dakota.

Many of my lyrics are taken from a personal space, emotions/traumas,…
Mankind Recall – Lorenzo Orrù Art: Gaung Yang Inspiration comes from watching movies and animes and reading and searching for inspiration. My experience as a vocalist started back in the nineties; I started playing with friends, imitating Max Cavalera and then Mick Montaguti of Electrocution. One day our drummer came in with a CD which…
