Embryectomy (Greece)

is a slamming brutal death metal band and one of the very few bands of its kind in Greece. They were formed in 2013 and released their debut Promo on 2014. In 2015 the split “Realm of Endless Massacre” was released along with Traumatomy and Cerebral Paralysis. In 2016, the band released their first full length album “Gluttonous Mastication of Embryonic Remnants” via Morbid Generation Records. This year, they are gonna release their second split collaboration, together with Psychosomatic Self-Mutilation and Nephrectomy via Amputated Vein Records, called “Absolution through Sacred Extrication”.

Epicardiectomy (Czech Republic)

takes its history back in the year of 2007 and needs no introduction to the most fans 
of the genre. Pioneers of Czech slamming brutal death metal have released 3 full-length albums and 
1 split CD album during the band‘s existence and played hundreds of shows and festivals as well as 
numerous tours all over the world from Europe to North and Latin America, from Japan to Russia.
Thanks to their unique sound and somewhat controversial stage presence, Epicardiectomy have 
grown into one of the most recognized bands in the modern brutal death metal/slam scene. The band 
has just finished the work on their 4th full length album titled “Dismal Landscapes Of Voluptuous 
Pustular Cadaverosis”, which will be out in August 2026 and is promising to be their most 
uncompromising and brutal to date.

Death by Dissonance (Germany)

Starting out in Southern Germany, Death by Dissonance have long outgrown their regional roots. With two lead vocalists, the sextet delivers an intense live experience built on raw energy, emotional weight, and a relentless connection with the audience. 
Driven by world-weariness and raw emotion, their take on modern death metal combines blast beats, crushing breakdowns, and atmospheric passages. With influences from black metal, metalcore, and deathcore, they push the genre forward while maintaining death metal’s essence.
Their debut album EPITAPH earned them the title “Heroes of Tomorrow” from Metal Hammer. After the pandemic brought live shows to a halt, Death by Dissonance returned to the stage supporting Heaven Shall Burn. In 2026, the band released their sophomore album EXILE WITHIN to outstanding critical acclaim. Since then, they have been taking the uncompromising sound on the road, delivering relentless shows that leave little room to catch your breath.

Acidwound

Acidwound is a Dutch/German deathcore band formed in 2024.

Blending groove-driven death metal with eerie atmospheres, punishing breakdowns, and sharp, cryptic lyrics, the band delivers a sound that hits as hard live as it does on record.

In 2025, Acidwound released two self-produced EPs — Antroposcene and Rule of Nines — showcasing everything from slow, crushing riffs to relentless blast-driven sections. Built for impact and replay value, Acidwound pushes a modern, detail-heavy take on deathcore.
