NECROPHAGIST are recognized as one of the leading bands in the growing underground progressive/technical death metal scene. Uniting influences from different styles, including classical music, NECROPHAGIST push the boundaries of technical and progressive Death Metal to new heights, setting an extreme standard by which others will follow.

Over the course of its existence, the San Diego-based CATTLE DECAPITATION has transformed from a stripped-down gore-grind side project of the arty hardcore/grindcore band the Locust to a full-fledged death metal band of their own, while retaining their original pro-vegetarian/gore-oriented lyrical stance.

The music of ARSIS is the product of strong classic metal and rock influences such as Racer X, Iron Maiden, Dio, Black Sabbath, and Alice Cooper, combined with the aggressive, in-your-face influences of bands such as Morbid Angel and Death.

NEURAXIS forge a unique identity combining sheer brutality with a melodic and progressive edge. The band's songwriting has matured to the point of ATHEIST-like complexity while maintaining a triumphant melodic edge that baffles and lays waste to most of their contemporaries.

Australian metal fusion band ALARUM have developed their technical/progressive style of jazz fusion influenced death/thrash metal to include a variety of styles and are now known as one of Australia’s best metal bands.
