Formed in 1996, Polish Tech Death masters Decapitated built a reputation
over the years as one of the international leaders of their genre.
Decapitated was founded in Krosno, Poland in 1996, by guitarist Wacลaw "Vogg" Kieลtyka, who was 15 at the time, his brother drummer Witold "Vitek" Kieลtyka, who was 12 years old, and vocalist Wojciech "Sauron" Wฤ sowicz, who was 16. One year later, bassist Marcin "Martin" Rygiel, 13, joined the band. Decapitated released its first demo, Cemeterial Gardens, in 1997 and its second demo, The Eye of Horus, in 1998. After signing to Earache Records subsidiary Wicked World, the band released its debut album, Winds of Creation, which included a cover version of Slayer's "Mandatory Suicide", and was produced by Piotr Wiwczarek from the Polish band Vader, in April 2000. The band toured with Vader in early 2001 in the United Kingdom. Allmusic states that "Decapitated have quickly gained recognition as one of Poland's, and even Europe's, finest exponents of ultra-technical death metal.

Prika Amaral started the band in February 2010 with Fernanda Terra (the first drummer), many girls played in Nervosa till July 2011, where they wrote some songs, despite being part of bands from different styles previously, like death metal and crossover, all members see in the compositions of Nervosa a same passion: thrash metal. With strong influences coming from bands of this genre’s classic school, the girls of the band seek to rescue the best in heavy music.
In august of 2011 Fernanda Lira took on the bass and vocals of NERVOSA, and only then, finally with the full team, the band start recording and playing shows.
In March 2012, the band released their first music video for “Masked Betrayer,” which reached the incredible mark, for a new band, of 20,000 views in just one week.
Thanks to the notoriety gained through their hard work, NERVOSA in the following months, achieved a great accomplishment: the contract with the Austrian label Napalm Records.
Still in 2012, the band’s first record, a demo with 3 tracks, was released in Brazil on CD independently, under the title ‘2012’ in August, and abroad by Napalm Records on turquoise vinyl, and by Nuclear Blast in a clear version, both under the title ‘Time Of Death’, whose cover art was designed by artist Andrei Bouzikov.
Nervosa ends the year 2012 with a very positive balance with more than 50 concerts made around the country.
After a period of exchanging drummers, the one who assumed the position in February of 2013 was Pitchu Ferraz.
In 2014, the girls finished the recording of their first full lenght, titled Victim of Yourself, which had 12 tracks and whose cover was signed again by the artist Andrei Bouzikov, and the booklet was produced by the Brazilian artist Rafael Romanelli.
Two clips were released throughout the album’s promotion: ‘Death!’, which achieved record-breaking views among the band’s videos (over 1 million views), and ‘Into Moshpit’, a live video compilation that demonstrates all the energy of the girls in a live show.
The good reception of the album was essential to result in a long and intense tour that lasted for the years 2014 and 2015. To promote the album in Brazil, the band played in Brazilian 17 states, went through 7 countries in Latin America and made a successful European tour with 51 shows in 60 days, including a total of 16 countries in the continent, including performances at some of Europe’s biggest summer festivals such as Summerbreeze, Brutal Assault, Metal Days, Obscene Extreme, among others.
The ‘Victim of Yourself’ promotion tour also took the band to the United States for the first time in 2016. Starting with two presentations on the already traditional ‘70000 tons of metal’ cruise, leaving from Florida and going to Jamaica, the tour also passed through much of the West Coast of the country and also to the South, with more than 30 concerts from the state of Washington all the way to the state of Florida. In addition, other new territories were explored by Nervosa, such as Mexico, where the band toured for two weeks, and other locations such as Puerto Rico and Peru.
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 “Hรฉro” 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.

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 Mรบsica, 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 Andrรฉ 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.
