Strzyyga out of Kansas City, Missouri play blackened crust with raw black metal fury. Nocturnal Famishment dropped March 6, 2026 with six tracks of hissing, primeval hatred. D-beat rhythms collide with lo-fi black metal tremolo and grim atmosphere throughout. The trio - Blasphoghol, Ahriman, and Hammerlich - spew over 14 minutes of nocturnal aggression.

Madrid’s Devil City Cult has unleashed a raw, uncompromising torrent of sound with their latest release, Murderous Retribution. It's a definitive statement of purpose from a band fully entrenched in the darker, more aggressive corners of European hardcore. A relentless volley of thick, down-tuned riffs, pulverizing breakdowns, and a vocal performance that sounds less like singing and more like a primal roar ripped from the throat.

MONOCRUST erupt out of Bali with a harsh, metallic strain of hardcore that feels built from rust, concrete, and pure velocity. Their sound leans into d‑beat grit and crust‑punk abrasion. SELF DESTRUCT, their newest release, is the band at their most volatile. The record detonates in short, punishing bursts, all with scorched‑earth intent.
