OVEROTH
Overoth are a death metal band hailing from the Belfast area of Northern Ireland. They formed in late 2005 by four friends with a raw passion for extreme metal. The band have been wreaking havoc across the Irish, UK and mainland Europe scenes since the release of their first demo ‘Pathway To Demise’ and as the focal point of the band’s existence, Overoth’s tight, energetic and exciting live performances have gained them the quick respect of the many bands they have shared the stage with including Bolt Thrower, Unleashed, Suffocation, Massacre, Napalm Death, Obituary, Hail Of Bullets, Cattle Decapitation, Sinister, Rotting Christ, Sodom, Morbid Angel and many more. Overoth have went on to release two further records, ‘Death Personified’ and ‘Kingdom Of Shadows’, and are currently finishing their fourth.
This is Overoth – An uncompromising aural assault of raw aggression. This is death personified.

BALEFUL CREED
Four lads from Belfast, Northern Ireland who share the same love for music has resulted in the following review “Baleful Creed deal in lead heavy, sh*t kicking hard rock that sounds like The Obsessed jamming on Black Crowes tunes, with a touch of Sabbathian doom and a strong grungy edge.” The debut EP ‘Killing Time’ got the ball rolling but the debut album smashed skulls with its thick guitar tone and bone crunching production. Melodic bluesy whiskey soaked vocals flow over tunes that can also spit fire and angst and that are backed with thumping drums and delicious bass lines.

PROXIST
With influences ranging from Pantera, Fear Factory, Down and Soilwork, Proxist deliver hard-hitting riffs with a mix of melodic and brutal vocals combined with complex and explosive drums, which make Proxist a modern metal band that are not trying to reinvent heavy metal, but rather to add their own distinctive musical sound and attitude to the metal world.
