Deathcore pioneers, DESPISED ICON, returned with their seventh full-length, ’Shadow Work’, in Oct 2025. The album features guest vocals from the likes of Matt Honeycutt (Kublai Khan TX), Scott Ian Lewis (Carnifex) and Tom Barber (Chelsea Grin) and stands as their most fine-tuned and dynamic effort to date. After 18-years, CARNIFEX, continue to experiment, remaining steadily progressive with fresh song arrangements, while adding a sense of atmosphere to their inherently deathcore foundation. There is no shortage of blood, as demonstrated on 2023’s, ’Necromanteum’. SUFFOCATION are death metal legends! The band released the scene’s foundational classics; ‘Effigy of The Forgotten' (1991), ‘Breeding The Spawn’ (1993) and ‘Pierced From Within’ (1995), before returning with a post-reformation slab of savagery in ‘Souls to Deny’ (2004) and ‘Suffocation’ (2006). On their ninth full-length, ‘Hymns from the Apocrypha’ (2023), they push the very edges of extremity. Relative newcomers, GATES TO HELL, fuse the finest elements of metal and hardcore, highlighting fast metal riffs with heavy hardcore and deathcore breakdowns. The band released their debut LP, ‘Gates To Hell’ in 2022 blowing all expectations out of the water. The band spent the following year on the road, playing nearly 150 shows alongside the likes of Dying Fetus, The Acacia Strain, Sanguisugabogg, Bodysnatcher, 200 Stab Wounds and more. 2025 saw the release their sophomore record, ‘Death Comes to All’ on Nuclear Blast.
