Across eight studio albums, DECAPITATED grew from the adolescent dream of teenagers from a small Central European town to one of the leaders of the metal genre. Each successive album further expands the band’s sound with genre-bending authenticity and integrity. As Metal Injection rightfully observed, “any self-respecting death metalhead knows the name well.”
DECAPITATED’s music is a weapon forged by four young men from a historic medieval-fortified town in Poland, which catapulted them to the top of a worldwide subculture. Like a rose in the devil’s garden, the DECAPITATED story builds triumph from tragedy. The gleeful grotesquery of extreme metal imagery and rifftastic bludgeoning beckons listeners to uncover broader truths.

Germany-based metal band OBSCURA launch trilogy concept on stunning new album “A Valediction”. The group’s first (sixth overall) album for Nuclear Blast pivots on many fronts. Advanced, elegant, and yet refreshing, “A Valediction” sums up past endeavors effortlessly as it gazes with purpose and conviction into the future. OBSCURA are fan-renowned and critically acclaimed for challenging and then expanding upon norms. From “Cosmogenesis” (2009) through “Diluvium” (2018), the band flourished and made significant progress in a musical genre unprepared for a creative shot of German invention. “A Valediction” spearheads OBSCURA into a new era of extreme metal.

INFERI are an American technical death metal band forged in the depths of Nashville, TN. The band formed in 2006 and set themselves outside of the generic pack by mixing melodious, yet technical musicianship rarely seen in today’s extreme metal acts. After releasing their debut album, Divinity In War in 2007 and following up with The End of an Era in 2009, lead guitarist, Malcolm Pugh (A LOATHING REQUIEM, Ex-ENTHEOS, Ex-DISKREET, Ex-ENFOLD DARKNESS) recruited Mike Low (OUBLIETTE, Ex-ENFOLD DARKNESS) on guitar and the band released their critically acclaimed album, The Path of Apotheosis in 2014. INFERI returned in 2018 with the release of their album, Revenant, which charted #26 on Billboard’s Hard Rock Albums, #28 on Billboard’s New Artists and #92 on Billboard’s Independent Album charts. 

Materia is one of the most promising bands in Europe. In short period of time they played over 150 shows over their homeland. They shared festival stages with the biggest metal bands as Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax and many more. Their first album "Case of Noise" (2013) is one of the most popular metal album in Poland last year. They are young, they are fresh and they gonnna smash your heads!
