Anatomia was formed back in 2002 by Takashi (Drums/Vocals), Jun (Bass), and Yoshio (Guitars), and it was like changing their name from their former Transgressor.Later in 2003, they recorded self-titled 4-track demo, which caught the attention of the US label Necroharmonic, and the year 2005 saw the release of their first full-length album Dissected Humanity. Amid the trend of ultra-fast brutal death in the scene back then, the response was quite satisfactory, and they started to get a number of offers for split releases, and so far they have released 21 splits with bands from around the world.In late 2011, they parted ways with Yoshio after performing at Rites of Darkness Fest in San Antonio. Shortly after that Yukiyasu (Guitars) joined to fill the position. Around that time, Jun and Takashi worked together and reentered the studio to record the second full-length album Decaying in Obscurity, which was later released by NWN! Production in 2012.The band have played shows outside Japan several times so far, with their first time at Kill-Town Death Fest in 2010, followed by a show in the US in 2012, a week-long tour in Europe with Undergang in 2013, and some more countries such as India, Taiwan, Singapore, and Thailand.In November 2017, they firmly established their style of dismal slow death metal as they describe themself by releasing the third full-length album Cranial Obsession, which was again released by NWN! Production.In December 2018, Yukiyasu left the band due to personal reasons, but soon they found a guitarist Makoto (from Funeral Moth). In mid to late 2020, Jun and Takashi worked together for another full length album titled Corporeal Torment, and with their four dismal and torturous songs it was released by Dark Descent/Me Saco Un Ojo Records in May 2021. Since that album release, they even worked on more splits; with such bands as Ruin, Undergang, Druid Lord, and Morbific, and constantly and still working on more new ones.

Formed in the frigid Wisconsin winter of 2015, Ossuary is the manifestation of power through grief, misanthropy, and the total worship of death. Inspired by visceral loss, fueled by the agony of hopelessness, the band has no use for self-indulgent displays of technicality. Ossuary is thick, black, and scathingly sluggish--a murky, hateful exhibition of death. After four years of hibernation following 2015's Cremation Ritual, Ossuary gave us their second self-recorded release, Supreme Degradation, in the spring of 2019. The original cassette release from Darkness Shall Rise and the reissue from Maggot Stomp have both sold out, but a release on vinyl is set to come later this year from MSUO. The band has toured the United States and is traveling to Total Death Over Mexico this March. 
 

Phobocosm was founded in 2008 with the intent of writing the darkest, most uncompromising death metal possible. The founding members agreed on one thing when they formed the band: its sound was going to be a mix between different styles of dark and extreme music, but its roots would have to remain firmly planted in the "dark death metal" style with an old-school approach while incorporating a lot of elements from other styles of music such as doom metal, black metal and ambient. Phobocosm's music is comprised of a mix of slow, mid-paced and fast parts with a strong focus on writing the darkest riffs possible in the realm of death metal while never sacrificing the song itself in doing so. The band's inspiration both musically and lyrically is pure darkness, hopelessness, suffering and knowing that things just won't be fine. Both of their albums are basically soundtracks to the apocalypse, or at the very least their interpretation of what the apocalypse will sound like. There simply cannot be any light in the band's music. Having played concerts all over North America in the last few years to support "Deprived" (2014) and "Bringer of Drought" (2016), Phobocosm is now ready to finally take its brand of death metal to European soil. Their third album should be released sometime in 2019.

Fuoco Fatuo was born in 2011, in the middle of the ghastly lakes of Varese, Italy. Starting out as an occult and oppressive death/doom band with an eerie and gloomy atmosphere, in 2014 they released their debut LP “The Viper Slithers In The Ashes Of What Remains”, which was followed by several EPs. Their sophomore LP “Backwater” (2017, Profound Lore Records) is a massive and suffocating funeral doom album, an exploration of the darkest and most desolate spaces through a sickened development of sound, making it like a flood of impenetrable black magma.The sound evolved and the band grew from three to four members with M.(Guitars, Vocals), G.(Guitars), N.(Bass), D.(Drums). The flowing magma of “Backwater” was buried and devoured all that lied underneath, and this is where Fuoco Fatuo’s “Obsidian Katabasis” latest LP dwells (2021, Profound Lore Records). A deeper and obscure undiscovered dimension. The extreme doom essence absorbs elements of dreadful nature which find cohesion into this record for a rich and thick sound and manifest into a visionary descent that evokes what is primordial.Fuoco Fatuo played at festivals such as Roadburn Festival, Vienna Metal Meeting, Kill-Town Death Fest, A Sinister Purpose and made European tours with The Ruins of Beverast, Grave Miasma and Dark Buddha Rising
