Charlotte, NC's Columns grind through death metal with a ferocity and economy that leaves little room to breathe. Short bursts of controlled violence are their calling card in the Carolina underground.
Pittsburgh's Commit Suicide combine brutal death metal's punishing low-end with grindcore's breakneck pace, producing something overwhelmingly violent and mercilessly fast. The Steel City underground runs deep in their veins.

Pittsburgh grindcore unit Complete Failure wage a relentless campaign of short, ferocious songs built on blastbeats and filth-encrusted riffs, squeezing maximum carnage into minimum runtime.
