Testament is a legendary American thrash metal band that has remained a defining force in the genre for decades. With their thirteenth album, Titans of Creation, they blend classic thrash with fresh, progressive elements. The record explores themes like cults, dreams, mental health, and spiritual healing, all driven by powerful riffs, intricate guitar work, and the commanding vocals of Chuck Billy and Eric Peterson.

Produced by Juan Urteaga and mixed by Andy Sneap, the album showcases a band that continues to evolve while staying true to their roots—true titans of thrash metal.

Obituary is one of the most successful and influential bands in death metal history. The first Obituary album ‘Slowly we Rot’ (1989) is a classic in the genre. Groove and heaviness are the main focus and the combination of slow and fast passages and John Tardy’s distinctive voice makes Obituary a unique metal band. With their eleventh album 'Dying of Everything', released last year, they continue their winning streak.

Destruction drew their inspiration from bands such as Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate, Motörhead, and Venom—how could it be otherwise—and was formed in 1982. The band quickly rose to the top of the national thrash metal scene, with albums like Infernal Overkill and Eternal Devastation becoming staples in their impressive heavy metal canon. This led to their inclusion in the “Big Teutonic 4,” alongside Kreator, Sodom, and Tankard.

Celebrating over 25 years of unrelenting chaos, Goatwhore stands as one of extreme metal’s most aggressive forces. Hailing from New Orleans, the band delivers a punishing fusion of black, death, thrash, and sludge metal with uncompromising intensity. Their 2022 album Angels Hung From The Arches Of Heaven is hailed as their most potent work yet—a raw, dark, and visceral journey that blends savage riffing with haunting atmospheres. Lyrically rich in esoteric themes, biblical allusions, and historical references, the album explores the human abyss with brutal honesty. Goatwhore’s ferocity on stage is matched by their commitment in the studio, where they worked with producers Jarrett Pritchard and Kurt Ballou to sharpen their apocalyptic sound. With each release, Goatwhore continues to evolve while staying true to the extreme roots that define their legacy.
