DRAWN AND QUARTERED (US)
Birthed in the mists of the early 1990's as Plague Bearer in the isolated and miniscule Death Metal underground emerging in Seattle, Drawn And Quartered would explode upon the unsuspecting scene with their debut demo and furious live performances in 1996. The iconic debut release "To Kill Is Human" emerged in 1998, self-released prior to its later reissue by Moribund Records. Two US tours followed, but it would not be until 2002 that a follow-up release would finally arrive with "Extermination Revelry", which began to showcase a more sinister approach than before.
Three subsequent releases via the Moribund Cult followed in relatively quick succession, including the landmark "Hail Infernal Darkness" in 2006. After the 2010 release of their sixth album "Feeding Hell's Furnace" on Nuclear Winter Records, and live performances in New York and Texas, Drawn and Quartered was forced to regroup following a line-up change. It would be 2012 when they reappeared with the "Proliferation of Disease" demo. Two albums would follow via Krucyator Productions, including the previous full-length "Congregation Pestilence" in 2022, which was followed by a successful US tour and Drawn And Quartered's second European appearance.
Their ninth full-length studio recording, "Lord of Two Horns", was released in June 2025 by Nuclear Winter Records. "Lord of Two Horns" sees Drawn And Quartered deliver their signature early-90s-influenced Death Metal darkness with more speed and brutality than ever before.

NOROTH (FIN)
Noroth formed in 2019 as a trio devoted to death metal carved from decay and slow annihilation. Drawing from the cavernous gravity of their earliest influences, the band strips the genre to its most suffocating core, massive riffs crafted from violence, and a suffocating atmosphere that favours oppressive restraint over excess. Their back catalogue includes three full-length releases, "It Dwells Amongst Us", "Harbinger", and "Sacrificial Solace", alongside a split with Grave Infestation, each recording advancing a singular, monolithic vision.
Their music unfolds as a sustained collapse measured methodically, and merciless. Lyrically and sonically, the band dwells in spiritual rot, the decline of humanity, the erosion of false authority, and the religious excrement that consumes everything beneath it. There is no spectacle and no redemption, only descent and decay.
