Since their debut EP in 2010 on BuriedinHell Records, Human Obliteration from Sacramento, CA continued to craft their mix of Grind, Punk and Doom through 2 more EPs, several compilations, tours and fests before releasing the full-length 'Definition of Insanity' on Give Praise Records/Legion Productions/To Live A Lie Records/Wise Grinds Records in 2020. Two Videos were produced for the album "Cultural Divide" (Director: Elis of Wheelmust Productions) and "Recluse" (Director: Noble Cinema). Despite the set backs that came with the Covid-19 pandemic, H.O. moved forward in 2021 to release their first split with Greece's Vile Species on No Time Records/Decolonized Records/Stay Tough Records. The track 'I Beg for Death' was named as one of Decibel Magazine's 'Top 21 Grind songs of 2021'. The band completed several short tours in 2023, including their first international appearance in Montreal, QC Canada followed in 2024 by sets at Zesta Grande, PNW Harshfest, and Earslaughter Fest. With a new full-length on the way in 2025, Human Obliteration will be making their European debut, including an appearance at the legendary Obscene Extreme Fest.



The project that later became Blastard was started in 2018, when guitarist Lars had moved to Cologne and met drummer Manu. Both sharing the love for the raw early stuff released by labels like Earache, Nuclear Blast etc. So they started to blast riffs and beats and looking for bandmembers.
After the imponderabilities of the pandemic they finally managed to play shows and release their first demo in 2024.
In 2025 they are going to conquer the world of old-school death-grind with an assault of fresh blasting tunes with love for the combination of speed, heavyness and insulting lyrics.



GROTESQUERIE is a Switzerland-based death metal/grindcore band. Formed in 2018, the group combines old school riff-based brutal death with grindcore rhythm to create a furious blend of blast beat-driven groove. Featuring members of EXORBITANT PRICES MUST DIMINISH, KAKOTHANASY, and COFFIN BIRTH (AUS), the group's upcoming EP will be released on IRON FORTRESS RECORDS in Summer 2025.
