Originating from Thessaloniki, Greece, Nihilism has been active since 2015, bringing forth a contorted form of Black Metal shaped by avant-garde influences and a deeply ritualistic aesthetic. The project was founded by Chris Bonos, gradually evolving into a complete entity defined by intensity, sonic contrasts, and a conceptual approach to extreme music.
A fascination with self-deconstruction, existential chaos, and transcendence through suffering is present in every composition. Their debut album, "Obscurité Noir" (2019), stands out for its dense, atmospheric character. With their latest release, "Cataclysme Vers l'Ascendance", Nihilism continues their sonic and thematic exploration, offering a heavy, direct, and emotionally charged journey.
Zgripsorum is a Melodic Death Metal band from Bucharest, Romania, blending melodic and symphonic elements with the raw edge of Old School Death Metal.
With a strong sonic identity and lyrics inspired by mythology, dark fantasy, and death, the band creates a dense, cinematic, and evocative musical universe.
Tracks like "Gai'don", "Exile", "Doomdiver", or "Of Blood and Saints" highlight a coherent artistic direction, where brutality and melodic refinement coexist within an intense and substantial narrative.
