The band was formed by Sarim (Vocalist) who met Neal (Rhythm guitar) at a club, Advait (Lead Guitar), online who was looking for a band. Ashwin (Bass) from the same university later joined the band and Advait’s brother Akshay now takes on the drums. Soulfuel was formed during autumn 2009 and wanted to do something different, and so the band came up with a heavy original, Forgiven Forbidden and ever since have made originals like Justice is sin and Dominatus Uth Barathrum.

Baalberith are a UK Black metal band Located in the Nottingham / Newark areas. Formed in 1999, we are fuelled by the aspiration and determination to create music that is pushing the boundaries beyond those which one would expect in certain metal genres. Baalberith are inspired by bands such as Behemoth, Anaal Nathrakh and various other artists of the Black Metal / Death Metal and Doom fields. We draw our inspiration primarily from the Black Metal style, but are known for introducing our own breed of belligerence, passion and vehemence into the mix. Since our formation we have been booked to share the stage with many renowned acts such as Ragnarok [NO], Abigail Williams [US], Abgott [UK], Hecate Enthroned [UK] and Gorgoroth [NO]. Over the years we have established a devoted and rabid fan-base worldwide. It is our firm belief that without the fans, a band is essentially nothing and for that reason, we are always endeavouring to connect with them be it through social media or conversations at the merchandise booth or bar. We make it a point to talk to everyone, to sign every item and to take every photo, because without the support of the fans, we do not exist. Most importantly we do this because we are fans of metal music, and strongly feel we could be a key part in the evolution of the “new wave” of British Black Metal. With the help of many D.I.Y labels worldwide we have harvested a great deal of exposure and reviews through various blogs, zines and websites. We have released various EP’s and albums over the years, most notably being ‘Abortion of religious futility’ and are continuing to write material for a new full length release. The impending “new wave” of British Black Metal is what drives us, keeps us inspired and gives us the desire to continue onwards in creating and sharing our music. It is our intent to create enthralling music that mirrors our evolution and exposure to an ever-evolving genre without surrendering the foundation from which we draw our sound.

Inhuman is a Death Metal band based in Costa Rica (Central America), formed in early December, 2011 through the initiative of guitarist Jonathan Sanchez (exKatharzys); who along with Freddy "Coco" Sanchez (exEternal) on drums, and vocalist Sergio Muñoz, conformed the initial stage of the band, through the first band rehearsals. This led to the incorporation of Max Soto on bass a few weeks later, which made possible the first gig as Inhuman. Later Max Soto was replaced by bassist Carlos Venegas (Alastor S.E., exAshes Remain) who joined the group during the recording process of the debut album. After several gigs, in early December 2012 the band completed its work in the studio to present the full-length album entitled "Course of Human Destruction", which was released independently in April, 2013.

Jungle Rot", "D.R.I." and "Whiplash" just to name a few. With many shows under their belt they have perfected their on stage presence into a precise, aggressive well organized production that their loyal fans love and new recruits at their shows will never forget, bringing a whole new experience in brutality, chaos and violence along the way. In September 2011 the band released their first self titled 4 song demo to amazing reviews.
