Mandroid Echostar - Catchy prog metal with clean vocals

Anaal Nathrakh - Grind/black metal with industrial influences

The Arcane Order - Long-form melodic death metal

Arcania - Kinda like a thrashier Gojira

Rivers of Nihil - Proggy death metal

Unfathomable Ruination - Brutal tech death

Thantifaxath - Dissonant black metal

We Lost the Sea - Post-metal. I need to give some context for this one:

Departure Songs is inspired by failed, yet epic and honourable journeys or events throughout history where people have done extraordinary things for the greater good of those around them, and the progress of the human race itself. This is a celebration and a tribute. Each song has it’s own story and is a soundtrack to that story.

This is our 3rd album and our first instrumental album. We’re exploring new ground and exploring ourselves in the past 2 and a bit years since Chris went on his own journey. It’s slightly bleak with shimmers of hope and layers of emotion. It’s a tribute and a catharsis of emotion and honesty.

I.e., their vocalist died and this was their way of grieving. Incredibly deep cut IMO.

Alpinist - “heavylowfastslowdark hardcore”
