Boss Keloid

Boss Keloid are inspired by ardent, progressive and obtuse groove. Honest, raw and intense. Fat, dirty, obtuse riff after riff with El Duce vocals poured over the top. Think Keelhaul with both Crowbar and Mastodon in a headlock. Chris Morris and Eugene S Robinson look on and applaud. We released our debut opus 'Angular Beef Lesson' in September 2010 featuring riffy nuggets such as Tension R.I.B, Coin Snorter and Spurt Reynolds.

Thrall

There is more than one band named Thrall.
1. The Tasmanian Black Metal band Thrall was formerly known as Thy Plagues. The band began in the tradition of primitive solo Black Metal (i.e. Ildjarn, Leviathan, Burzum etc…). With the addition of a bass player in 2006 the project became a duo. In 2009 Em Støy shifted from bass to drums. Thrall has evolved from a primitive droning blast-ridden style to a more groove-laden hypnotic sound fusing Black Metal with Doom influences. In June 2010, Thrall released their debut full-length, Away From the Haunts of Men on Total Holocaust Records.

O'Brother

The early birthing pains of O’ Brother saw Michael Martens, Johnny Dang, and his brother Anton Dang joined in making quiet climbs from graceful notes , a struck pose to an older guitar focused indie-rock. But as is the duty of all freshman bands members fade off and new friends, like Tanner Merritt and Aaron Wamack, joined establishing a new vision, and accidentally stumbling into the dark 2009 debut EP The Death of Day.

Fall of Efrafa

Fall of Efrafa are from Brighton, United Kingdom. They mix elements of post-rock, post-metal, black metal and hardcore punk- taking influence from bands such as Neurosis, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Wolves in the Throne Room, and His Hero Is Gone.

The name refers to an element from the book Watership Down, in which Efrafa is a fascist state ruled over by a dictatorship. The band uses "Efrafa" to represent the reign of man over this planet, Owsla (the name of the band's debut album) representing the natural world.

Ortega

There are more artists using the name Ortega. 1) Every so often a band emerges as if from nowhere armed with a depth of song writing that is simply stunning. Enter Ortega… The seven piece from Cannock in the Midlands have been doing what bands do – learning their craft (both live and on record), becoming big names on the local circuit, selling out their first self-made demos and building up to their debut single through Co Star Entertainment set for release in late 2007.
