MOLDER

Joliet, Illinois' Molder was unleashed upon an unsuspecting public in 2017. Bringing forth a blend of Thrash and Death Metal that embodies all things heavy, filthy, and unholy. The band infested themselves into the local circuit and quickly proved themselves worthy of their rising attention. 

First making their mark with the debut demo, "An Act of Revenge" the band began to formulate a wider following, cementing themselves a spot in the death metal underground as a force to be reckoned with. Landing the band deals with independent labels such as; Headsplit Records, Goat Throne Records, and Rotted Life Records. If they aren't slaughtering audiences through their headphones/stereos they bludgeon their victims live, with bands like Exhumed, Autopsy, Jungle Rot, and Demolition Hammer. 

Generating enough buzz to gain the attention of California's Prosthetic Records, exhuming them from the underground. Additionally, through that buzz, Molder has dominated the U.S with a slew of tours and festival appearances such as Milwaukee Metal Fest, Volcanic Strike Hawaii, and Maryland Deathfest to name a few.

Molder currently consists of Chicagoland mutants Aaren Pantke (guitars, vocals), Carlos Santini (guitar) Dominic Vaia (bass) and Kyle Pooley (drums) rounding out their strongest lineup yet. This quartet of terror are ready to chop, cut, and carve you up into "granulated chunks". After releasing their acclaimed debut full length, "Vanished Cadavers", and major label debut, “Engrossed In Decay”, Molder have teamed up with Prosthetic to defile your ears yet AGAIN with a new offering, ‘Catastrophic Reconfiguration’

KONTUSION

Raw death metal punk onslaught from New Jersey and Washington D.C. formed around 2021 by drummer Chris Moore (Repulsion, Coke Bust) and vocalist, guitarist and bassist Mark Bronzino (ANS, Mammoth Grinder). Moore and Bronzino formed Kontusion after years of being friends, throughout which the two would jam on riffs while staying at each other's places during stops on various respective tours. Finally around 2021, the duo had the time and energy to start a new band and bring to life years of ideas and interactions shared as friends and as mutual fans of bands like Terrorizer, Napalm Death, Discharge, and Convulse. The idea for Kontusion’s self-tiled 2022 demo (reissued in 2023 by Sentient Ruin) was inspired by the 80’s and 90’s demo tapes and early recordings of legendary death metal bands from that era and their raw, lo-fi sound and minimalist visuals.
