VRUST out of Hamburg/Lübeck, Germany play blackened crust with a death metal bite. Their self-titled debut dropped February 23, 2026 with five tracks of dark, aggressive heaviness. This is crust punk meeting black and death metal fury - harsh vocals, grinding riffs, and relentless energy. Recorded by Joso at Bombrec_recording and mixed/mastered by Florian Zeh, the production keeps things raw and filthy. The three-piece tear through nearly 20 minutes of bleak, pummeling intensity.

First off, DEATHFUCKINGWOUND is one of the all-time great band names. If the name doesn't tell you everything you need to know, the sound certainly will. DEATHFUCKINGWOUND is a mysterious Finnish duo whose music is a short, sharp shock—a chaotic and relentless vessel of rage drawing equally from Death Metal, Grindcore, Black Metal, and Noise. Their debut EP, Void MMXXV, was written, recorded, and released in just four frantic weeks, emphasizing their "cut-the-bullshit-and-go" mentality.
