Eternal is an old school death metal quartet hailing from the desert of Phoenix Arizona. The band creates a nostalgic blend of late 80’s early 90’s Swedish and Florida style death metal while paving their own unique sound and style.
Eternal delivers a visceral experience that transports listeners to the early days of death metal when it was coming into its own genre drawing inspiration from bands like Death, Morbid Angel, and Unleashed.
Since their formation in 2021 Eternal has released 2 EP’s “Forsaken Memories“ in 2022 and “Faceless Evil” in 2023. They finally debuted their first full length album “Cryptic Lust” in 2024 on Carbonized Records gaining the attention of the death metal underground solidifying them as one of the new up and coming bands in the genre. Life is temporary, death is Eternal!

Pure old-school death metal evil from Taiwan! A tightly-knit five-piece unit, crafting compositions that reek of decay—like eerie melodies seeping from a corpse-oil-infused witching jar.
The themes of the music range from ancient Eastern black magic to the transcendence of the soul into godhood… Lost in the relentless curses of a sorcerer’s chant, one is ultimately reborn—bathed in a writhing swarm of maggots... under the gaze of the faceless god.

“Saintbreaker was formed in the summer of 2013 in the state of Arizona, USA. Upon the 2017 release of their first full length album Beaten Into Belief, the band has gained a reputation as a regional powerhouse in the US underground metal scene, playing a hybrid style of music that blends thrash, death metal, grindcore, and hardcore punk. The following year, the band released an EP titled Cruel Humanity and since then has shared the stage with many esteemed bands such as Exodus, Power Trip, Warbringer, Demolition Hammer, M.O.D., Terrorizer, Hirax, Ringworm, Skeletal Remains, Gatecreeper, Negative Approach, Nunslaughter, and many more, also appearing on several US heavy metal festivals such as Full Terror Assault and Charged Noise. Recently, the band released their long-awaited sophomore album Unrelenting Violence in 2023, demonstrating that the band remains dedicated and focused as ever on delivering intense, brutal music for the metal masses.”

1996年に東京で結成。結成当時はSWANS的なオルタナ/ジャンク系のサウンドを志向し活動。ライブ活動は行うものの正式な音源は発表せずに2000年頃一時活動停止。2002年に現在唯一のオリジナルメンバーであるUCHINOにより3ピースバンドとして活動を再開。サウンドもアメリカのWINTERを手本にしたCELTIC FROST直系のドゥーム/デスサウンドへと変化して2003年に1stデモを発表、海外を中心にプロモーションをスタート。
2005年にアメリカのRAZORBACK RECORDSより1stアルバム「MORTUARY IN DARKNESS」をリリース。翌2006年にはドイツのIMPERIUM PRODUCTIONSから2ndアルバム「THE OTHER SIDE OF BLASPHEMY」をリリースする。いくつかのスプリットリリースをはさみ2008年初頭にアメリカの20 BUCK SPINから3rdアルバム「BURIED DEATH」リリース後、レーベル招聘によりそのリリースツアーを兼ねたMARYLAND DEATHFEST を含む初の海外、アメリカ東海岸ツアーを経験する。
2010年には2度目のMARYLAND DEATHFEST出演のため再びアメリカ東海岸、さらに同年秋に初のオーストラリアをサーキット。現ドラマーであるSATOSHIが加入し4人編成となった2012年、ミニアルバム「MARCH OF DESPAIR」の発表を挟みヘッドライナーで行った2度目のヨーロッパツアーでポルトガルSWR METALFESTからフィンランドまでをサーキットする。
2013年春、アメリカのRELAPSE RECORDSと契約し4thアルバム「THE FLESHLAND」をリリース。直後にはBRUTAL ASSAULTやPARTY SAN OPEN AIRなどを含むツアーで3度目のヨーロッパを経験。同年秋、初の海外バンド招聘ジャパンツアーとしてアメリカのスラッジコア、NOOTHGRUSHとともに国内をツアーする。この頃から、サウンドも従来のドゥーム/デスサウンドを基盤としつつ初期DEATH/MASSACRE、初期スウェディッシュデスメタル、AUTOPSYやBOLT THROWERなどのよりプリミティブなオールドスクールタイプデスメタルサウンド傾向を強めていく。
2014年に現ボーカリストのTOKITAが加入。同年3月に国内開催されたOBSCENE EXTREME ASIAへ出演後、 5月にはSCION ROCK FESTや3度目の出演となるMARYLAND DEATHFESTを含む通算4度目のアメリカヘッドラインツアーへ。
翌2015年、ミニアルバム「CRAVING TO ETERNAL SLUMBER」を発表後に4度目のヨーロッパヘッドラインツアーを行いフランスのHELLFESTに出演する。
2016年、現ベースのATAKEを迎えオランダのNETHERLANDS DEATHFEST出演のため5度目のヨーロッパツアーを行う。
2019年にはデンマークのKILL TOWN DEATH FESTやオランダのBLOODSHED FESTを含む6度目のヨーロッパヘッドラインツアーに続き、現編成による最新5thアルバム「BEYOND THE CIRCULAR DEMISE」をRELAPSE RECORDSよりリリース。このアルバムではUKステンチコアを取り込んだデスメタルサウンドアプローチでバンドの新たな展望を模索する。
そして、コロナ禍が明けた2024年にRELAPSE RECORDSより6thアルバム「SINISTER OATH」をリリースし、2016年強制送還事件ぶりの5度目のアメリカヘッドラインツアーを行う。
国内でもASAKUSA DEATHFESTやBLOODAXE FEST出演、海外バンドのツアーサポートショー出演など、引き続きジャンルに拘らず幅広く活発なライブ活動をしながら、現在へ至る。

Ceremonial Bloodbath formed in 2015 to create chaotic, swarming hellscapes with barbaric rhythms. This Canadian 4-piece from Canada's West Coast sculpts their anti-music committed to themes of ritual human sacrifice. Born beneath a black hole in Vancouver, BC and founded by Abysmal Berserker, Faceless Infinity, and Nuclear Hammer Throne, the project themes developed further and started to conjure and include blasphemic themes. The Nocturnal Black joined the project during the recording of their first LP "The Tides of Blood", released in 2020, which shifted the live rituals to include simultaneous violent doubled vocals. In 2023, "Genesis of Malignant Entropy" was released featuring 9 tracks of twisted sonic chaos, developing the band's sound further. Most releases from the band feature original samples created by lead guitarist Abysmal Berserker, often included in live performances. Ceremonial Bloodbath, desecrators of the holy man's moral oasis and extractors of perverse soul. a horde of abominable sonic extermination come together to summon a darkened scourge of complete bestial death metal and aural abandon in Japan for the first time in 2025 to perform at Asakusa Death Fest.

In 2021, after a year of hard work, the band's first album "Decomposition in the Painful Metamorphosis" was released, and the frequency of performances was increased. As time went by, the band finally released a new album "Reborn Souls from Transcendent Agony" at the end of 2024. The new album hits the heart more directly, redefining the world we live in with "split thinking".

Aggressive, energetic and passionately devoted to morbid, well-written death metal, Decrepid were among the small band of groups around the world who decided to take a stand against the sterile and overly-technical direction the genre was heading in when the formation first took place. Since that time, they have slowly but surely carved out a name for themselves as one of the strongest death metal bands in the UK.
Alongside their adrenaline-pumping recorded assaults, the band have always remained an active band, having recently toured with bands such as Nile, Krisiun, and Morta Skuld. Decrepid looks forward to bringing its “full-force death metal assault” (Metal Hammer) to Japanese audiences in November.

Founded in 2010 by Herman Uiterwijk, they then played their first show in October 2011 as support act for Vomitory, Prostitute Disfigurement, Sinster and a number of other great bands.
With their first CD 'Aborted From Life', Abrupt Demise has received a lot of media attention and widespread radio coverage stretching from the Netherlands to Poland and Canada. This small but cheeky CD received some good reviews around the world with an overall score of 8 out of 10 stars. Shortly after the recordings, Jos Ferweda was welcomed as the new bassist.
In 2014, Abrupt Demise started their "Mutual Mutilation" campaign with several festivals and performances throughout Europe.
2 years later the 'Mutual Mutilation' demo was recorded with the now new singer Rene Brugmans. Shortly afterwards, Marc Ouwendijk joined the band. A few months later, Peter Hagen was hired as the new lead guitarist.
New songs, great shows in Malta, Leeds & Cardiff and a 14-day tour through America were on the program, but the first full-length 'The Pleasure To Kill And Grind' is also on its way,
which was released in the spring of 2020. With excellent reviews, only unfortunately right at the start of 2 years of Covid.
During that period, Peter decided to quit and Ardy de Jong was recruited as the new lead guitarist. After Covid 2022/2023, great shows were played in the Czech Republic, Malta, Italy and England and there are also cool things on the program for 2024. France, Spain and a Split EP with the friends of Putrefied Corpse is on its way!
There are also almost 10 new songs ready for the successor to “The Pleasure”, which should see the light of day in 2025!

Koncertos of Kawaiiness: Stealing Jon Chang's Ideas, a Book by Andrew Lee, 2024
Social Media
From the sleepy suburbs of San Jose, California, comes HOUKAGO GRIND TIME's third season of wholesome cute anime goregrind discompositions. Recorded and mixed by sole member Andrew Lee (Ripped to Shreds) at his home studio THE WEEB DUNGEON and mastered by Colin Marston at Menegroth, "Koncertos of Kawaiiness: Stealing Jon Chang's Ideas, A Book by Andrew Lee" storms forth with a whirlwind of bowel churning vocals and hyperblasting trashcan snare. But "Koncertos" isn't limited to just endless blasting punishment and moe anime samples. Stomping polka beats and virtuosic guitar solos inject just enough space for listeners to gasp for breath before drowning in filthy crust riffs. Each song on "Koncertos" is laden with as much anthemic mosh parts as can be stuffed into thirty seconds. In 2023 HOUKAGO GRIND TIME made its live debut as a one man act, debuting at Barely Breathing Fest vol 2, followed by a west coast tour with Taiwanese goregrinders MYXOMA, appearances at Decibel Magazine's Metal and Beer pre-fest in Philly, and a UK tour with MYXOMA capped with performances at Chimpyfest.

In between talkings and chats from Ideas and sharing music within Oscar Clorio (Cenotaph, Denial, ex Shub Niggurath), César Sánchez (Hacavitz, Xiat, Profanator) and Antimo Buonanno (Hacavitz, Profanator, Castleumbra) to create a dark entity of utter Death Metal since 2018 and til 2020. This abomination materialized, making conspiracy with Alan Di González (Malcria, ex Sacrificio, Nocturno) to complete this obscure taskforce of the dead, and to start writing material for further Demo song "Congruence Of The Profound Forlorn" to promote it through the net. This one quickly got the opportunity to make allegiance in a production of a split recording with fellow comrades, Pestilength from Spain. Tthis unholy communion has released in 2020.
The debut album "Lux Morte" have released by Vomit Records in Digipack, Me saco un Ojo Records for the LP, Dark Descent Recs in CD Jewel Case and Extremely Rotten Records in Cassette Tape in 2024.

RIPPED TO SHREDS return with their highly anticipated new album, Sanshi.
The band explodes out of the underground with all the blood-soaked hallmarks of the hellacious RIPPED TO SHREDS sound - an onslaught of frenetic dueling solos, blasting drums, and van Drunen-esque vocals that further fuse the grit and grime of old school Death Metal and Grind with the here and now. Helmed by guitarist and frontman Andrew Lee, RIPPED TO SHREDS are as fierce and focused as they've ever been.
Conceptually, Sanshi sees the band dig into a morbid fixation on death and the afterlife in the context of traditional Chinese folklore. Tracks like the lead single “Perverting the Funeral Rites,” is a song inspired by obscure funeral rites in Taiwan, wherein exotic dancers perform lithe rituals for living and dead alike. Elsewhere, “Force Fed” delves into the legend of Meng Po’s "Elixir of Forgetfulness", which when drunk by the dead wipes their memories clean before they are reborn into their next incarnation. “Living In Effigy” was inspired by real life tales of photographers traversing remote rural China, taking funeral portraits of the elderly who died in solitude.
Sanshi's cover art comes courtesy of Lee’s long-term collaborator, artist Guang Yang, and depicts a scene of Yan Luo Wang, The God of Hell, and the dead who must face his judgment in his demonic court.

80年代に登場した日本のヘヴィ・メタル/スラッシュ・メタル・シーンにおいて、NWOBHMの音楽性を頑なに継承し、単に“スラッシュ・メタル”とは形容しがたい、ダークでソリッドなリフとファストなロックン・ロールを追求したサウンド・スタイルでシーンを牽引したバンドSACRIFICE。彼らは当時“日本のVENOM”と称され、ダイハードなメタル・ファンは勿論、海外のバンド達からも非常に高い評価を受けた。2020年1月にニューヨークで、彼らを敬愛するMIDNIGHT、TOXIC HOLOCAUST、DEVIL MASTERなどを迎え行なったヘッドライナー公演で27年の沈黙を破り待望の復活を遂げたバンドは、2日間ソールドアウトの会場につめかけた多くのパンクスやメタル・ファンを熱狂させ、熱烈な歓迎を受ける。その後はパンデミックの影響を受けライヴ活動を行うことは出来なかったが、2023年以降は国内でもワンマン・ライヴを行い、また結成40周年を迎える2025年には、1月のロサンゼルスでのヘッドライナー公演を皮切りに、バンコク、シンガポール、東京でのTOXIC HOLOCAUSTとのカップリング・ツアー公演の他、数多くのライヴが予定されている。
