Formed in 1991, during the height of the death metal explosion, Dying Fetus have matured into one of the premiere extreme death metal/grind-core acts to emerge from the massive global metal underground. The band is recognized worldwide as a prime example of songwriting perfection, combining an innovative mix of technical virtuosity and catchy song structures to create the ultimate blend of death metal, hard core, and grind.

Formed in Denver, Colorado in 1992, Cephalic Carnage set out to break down musical barriers by raising both the expectations and standards of extremity in heavy music through the construction of uninhibited "ultra-grindcore". A grindcore band that is also heavily influenced by death metal, they thrive on integrating various experimental aspects into their unique, forward-thinking style of music.
