Houwitser originally started in 1997 and was formed by Michel Alderliefsten (ex-Sinister). Completing the line-up with vocalist Mike (ex-Sinister), drummer Aad (Sinister) and bass player Theo (Hail of Bullets). The debut album‘Death.. But Not Buried' was released by Displeased Records in the spring of 1999 and got great reviews and good sales. The end of that year Houwitser parted with their singer Mike.
Houwitser’s second album ‘Embrace Damnation’ was released with a music video for “Feeding on Fools”. In 2001 Houwitser signed with Osmose Productions and their third album ‘Rage Inside The Womb’ saw the light of day in 2002. This was the start of a tour all over the entire European continent. In 2004, after the release of the album ‘Damage Assessment‘, the band split up. Displeased Records re-released the debut album ‘Death... but not buried’ with 7 bonus tracks and new artwork.
The split of Houwitser left a bad vibe with guitarist Michel. In 2008 the Dutch death metal-commandos wrote a new chapter in the history of Houwitser. In 2009 Houwitser signed a new record deal with U.S.A. based Sevared Records, who released Bestial Atrocity early 2010. Their fifth album ‘Bestial Atrocity’ marked the rebirth of the ferocious 'Terror Legion'.
Late 2011, the original frontman Mike van Mastrigt, drummer Marten van Kruijssen and bass player Roderick Ras where recruited for the Terror Legion. While the new line up was working on Houwitser's sixth release, Coyote Records released a live DVD of one of the shows of Houwitser's Russia mini-tour.

The blood and fire spewed forth onstage by Noctem is a visceral, fitting companion to their unrivaled sound, a vicious black metal assault enhanced with a signature Iberian flourish. Arguably the best-known extreme metal export from Spain, Noctem’s ungodly path put them in front of cult audiences around the world, across Europe, Asia, Russia, and North America. Frontman and founder Beleth graced the cover of the Spanish edition of Metal Hammer in 2018 as a “Héro” of the genre.
The first metal band from Spain to perform in China, Noctem’s unrelenting touring saw them team up with the likes of Marduk, Batushka, Napalm Death, Immolation, and many more over the years. Dozens of prestigious extreme festivals added them to their lineups, including Bloodstock Open Air (UK), Motocultor Festival (FR), Metaldays (Slovenia), and many more.
The band unveiled its fifth full-length studio album, The Black Consecration, in 2019. New Transcendence declared, “The Black Consecration is a superb album, littered with secrets and enticing riffs,” making favorable comparisons to early Emperor and Dark Funeral. Metal Hammer Portugal wrote, “in this particular genre, it is perhaps one of the best Spanish works ever of its kind.”
Noctem follows that career landmark with a new, definitive masterpiece, merging the crushing cacophony of angry, adrenaline-fuelled lust with newfound sorrows and mournful melodic might. Credo Certe Ne Cras (“I Believe With Certainty That There is No Tomorrow”) is a work of art. The album demands to be experienced as much as listened to, invoking ritualistic examination.
As emphasized in the brilliant album opener “I Am Alpha,” Beleth conceived of Noctem over 20 years ago. It grew to monstrous proportions, embodied in the album closer “We Are Omega,” which celebrates the unstoppable lineup completed by Moss (guitars), Tobal (guitars), Varu (bass), and Voor (drums). The band and its ever-widening audience are legions, united in misanthropy and anguish.
Credo Certe Ne Cras broadens its old-school-sounding predecessor's raw, filthy fury with bigger production and melody without sacrificing the frostbitten 200 mph winds of anger and blast beats.

that, Sinister succeeded in maintaining their popularity by releasing
their second and third album ‘Diabolical Summoning’ (1993) and ‘Hate’
(1995) and doing many live shows all over Europe and a very successful

The history of Scent of Death begins in September 1998, when Jorge (ex-Suffer Age),and Carlos (ex-Osmosis), decide to improve their concept of Death Metal. On December, same year, Bernardo and Nuno (ex-Osmosis) joined the band. With Jorge and Bernardo on guitars, Carlos on bass and Nuno on drums, Scent of Death was born. In the beginning, conception of the first songs and many hours of rehearsals it's all. The band began to record on September 2001, at Taller de Música, Ourense, Spain. As a result, they released their first MCD, entitled "Entangled in Hate", which was produced and edited by their own. Vocals were performed by Bernardo, assisted on high vocals by Jorge At the end of November of the 2002, Scent of Death finds a new vocalist, Lois. With this new incorporation, the band plays a lot of gigs in Spain and Portugal from 2002 to 2004, playing in the most important underground festivals of these countries. In February 2004, Nuno leaves Scent of Death and the band starts the search for a new drummer. He was replaced by Alfred Berengena, drummer of catalonian Brutal Death Metal band Baalphegor, as a session drummer for the new album. The band signed with Bloody Productions from Spain, in December 2004 for the releasing of Scent of Death´s first album. In January 2005 the drum sessions were recorded at Tribal Art Music Studios, Girona, and in March 2005 the band entered at GonSound Studios, in Vigo, to record, produce and master all the rest with Gonso Pedrido, one of the most important producers in the spanish extreme metal scene . The final result is a full-length CD of FAST, EXTREME AND DARK DEATH METAL, called "Woven in the book of hate", with a great production and massive sound. It was released in June 2005 through Bloody Productions. In 2007 a new drummer, Jorge, joined the band. The band starts the rehearsals and live performances, but in 2010 this new member leaves the band by several musical reasons A new search begins for another drummer, finding the best and most brutal option in Rolando "demolition man" Barros, a legendary musician in the Portuguese underground scene. Lois is expelled from the band because of their lack of interest and he was quickly replaced by Sergio M. Afonso, who provides a higher degree of brutality to the line-up with his voice. After six years, in September 2011, the band stars the recording of the new album, with the drums sessions by Rolando Barros at Brugostudio in Lisbon. In December 2011 the band recorded the rest of the instruments and vocals in a local studio. At the end of January 2012 the sessions was ready to be sent to the producer André Tavares, based in Lisbon, for mixing and mastering, with spectacular results in sound, performance and production. Finally in May 2012, the mastering was finished. The new album is entitled "Of Martyrs's agony and Hate" and is an amazing step forward for the band, evolving into darkness, technique and composition. The cover is a masterful piece of blasphemous art by Yumali Katani, from Metal Artist, and represents a reflect of the brutality inherent in the music of this work. The band signed again with Bloody Productions for a limited vinyl edition of the new album in 2013, and the Cd edition was released through Pathologically Explicit Recordings.
Javier Escaño (guitarra) y Eduardo "Thedy" Benjumea (bajo) formaron Killem en 2001. A estos dos componentes fundadores se unirían el guitarrista Germán Rodríguez y el vocalista Tato. Así se iniciaría la búsqueda de un batería- La formación quedaba cerrada tras la incorporación en julio del 2001 de Ramón Nissen. Poco tiempo más tarde Germán abandonaba el grupo por su incompatibilidad con el resto de los componentes, con lo que la formación se quedaba en cuatro personas.
En septiembre del 2001 se unía al grupo Víctor Silvestre. La entrada de Víctor acabaría confirmando totalmente la predilección del grupo por el thrash metal, lo que provocaría que al poco tiempo el vocalista Tato abandonase la formación movido por su deseo de formar parte de un grupo más cercano a vertientes más clásicas del rock. Dos meses más tarde, tras la prueba de Alex Losa, consideraron por unanimidad que no era necesario seguir probando a más vocalistas. Con la formación cerrada y ya con el nombre de Killem, el grupo le daría los últimos retoques junto a su nuevo vocalista a sus primeros temas, que se grabarían durante los primeros meses del verano de 2002 en una demo que finalmente no llegaría a editarse.
Con la cancelación repentina de su primer concierto en Málaga junto a las bandas Tenia y Nemesis, el grupo se estrenaría con su participación en el Festival Runa Rock el 13 de agosto de 2002, compartiendo cartel con grupos como Saurom Lamderth, Sphinx y Ankhara.
En los meses de Julio y Agosto de 2003 se llevaría a cabo la grabación de los cinco temas que componen la maqueta, cuatro de ellos habituales en el repertorio de Killem y uno recién terminado, que recibiría el nombre de Biolypse.
Después de ser teloneros de Napalm Death en su paso por Sevilla, encabezar el Festival Metal Lords de Córdoba y compartir escenario con Dying y Armas de Venta, el grupo se centraría en dar los últimos retoques a la maqueta grabada en verano, terminándose las labores de diseño de portadas y edición a finales de Diciembre de 2003, con lo que se inicia la espera a la reproducción del disco ya finalizado por la fábrica contratada para lanzar una tirada de 500 copias del mismo, poniéndose finalmente a la venta el 30 de enero del 2004.
En el Festival Leyenda 2004 comparten cartel con grupos como Lujuria, Centinela (sustituidos sobre la marcha por Sphinx por problemas de salud de su vocalista), Katie King y Renno, el grupo daría su concierto mas largo hasta la fecha. Luego compartirían cartel con los madrileños Dreamaker durante dos fechas consecutivas en Sevilla y Huelva, además de participar en varios festivales más en Sevilla durante los siguientes meses.
En marzo de 2005, Killem se embarca con Malagüero en la gira Kill That Güero Tour, realizándose tres conciertos, en Huelva, Ecija y Córdoba. A finales de este mes, Eduardo "Thedy" Benjumea deja el grupo.
En Julio del mismo año, el grupo encuentra a Gonzalo Gassol para encargarse del bajo...
The start of Pestilence took place in the area of the Dutch/German border (Enschede) in 1986 and Pestilence started as a 3-piece thrash metal band. The lineup, consisting of Patrick Mameli (guitar, vocals), Randy Meinhard (guitar), and Marco Foddis (drums). After their first demo called “Dysentery”, Martin van Drunen (bass, vocals, later also known for grunting for Asphyx, Bolt Thrower and Hail of Bullets) joined them. The two demos, both from 1987, “Dysentery” and “The Penance” were raw-sounding Thrash Metal attack. Pestilence became a Dutch flagship in the international tape-trading scene.
After hearing the 2nd demo renowed and legendary Dutch Metal label Roadrunner Records showed some interest and as a test Pestilence recorded a song called “Hatred Within” with Kalle Trap (a.o. Blind Guardian, Paradox) for the Teutonic Invasion part II compilation-LP. The song achieved many positive reviews and feedback was amazing.
Signing with Roadrunner was the next logical step. Pestilence recorded again with Kalle Trap and released their debut album, “Malleus Maleficarum”, in 1988, further refining their approach to thrash metal, and becoming leading in the genre, being seen as one of the most intense and brutal bands. The new material was way tighter and more focused than the demos.
Meanwhile, Pestilence recruited a new guitar player, Patrick Uterwijk, replacing Meinhard whom continued with Sarcosanct. In 1989, the band recorded with Harris Johns (a.o. Sodom, Helloween, Kreator, Voivod) and released their second album, “Consuming Impulse”, a big turn towards the then buzzing Death Metal scene. Musically, things became heavier and more haunting. With Roadrunner (together with Earache) being the Death Metal label then, all came together at the right time in in the right place. Vocally, Martin van Drunen moved away from the brutal thrash vocals in favour of a more acidic growl. With its release, Pestilence gained international attention (being at the forefront with Death, Obituary, Sepultura, Morbid Angel, Bolt Thrower, Autopsy), and became highly regarded worldwide by death metal fans. But before a follow-up album was released the lineup had to changeonce again; vocalist and bassist Martin van Drunen was forced to go and joined Asphyx to persue a succesful career in Death Metal...

Sinister is a death metal band from Schiedam, the Netherlands, formed in 1988. The band was idle between 2003 and 2005, after which Aad Kloosterwaard, the only constant member, switched from drums to vocals.
During that time, Aad Kloosterwaard and Alex Paul formed a band called No Face Slave. The new material written for what was to be this band's debut was so similar to Sinister's style that after recruiting Bas van den Bogaard on bass and Paul Beltman on drums they decided to resurrect Sinister in 2005.
