Civerous was first formed and has been active since 2019 releasing a demo, a split and a live promo. During the pandemic, while disease washed over the world, Civerous locked themselves away and recorded their first full-length album, “Decrepit Flesh Relic”. After a series of shows, the band went on tour, riding a miasma over the Pacific Northwest and Arizona before playing Mexico City at Total Death over Mexico and being signed to 20 Buck Spin. The band played an electric set at Kill-Town Death Fest 2023 and will released their sophomore album, “Maze Envy”, on March 22nd. The band will spend 2024 hitting several American fests: Disembowelled God Fest, Austin Death Fest, Death Over Bakersfield, and Deadstock 2. Civerous is eager to draw the rest of the world into the labyrinth to find their own charm of longing. The band is composed of Issaiah Vaca, Drew Horton, Alonso Santana, Daniel Salinas and Aidan Neuner.

Hailing from Southern California, CREMATORY STENCH formed in 2014 and released their self-titled debut EP two years later. Then a trio, the band's sound was a thrashing take on late '80s death metal, largely nodding to early Death and Pestilence. Now expanded to a quartet and having been a prolific force on the live front, CREMATORY STENCH's attack has but gotten nastier, gnarlier, and creepier. One could argue that with Grotesque Deformities, they have entered the very early '90s, owing as they do to the gutsfuck sounds coming from Sweden then. Either way, it's utterly hellish.
