    CARCHARODON (Death ‘n’ Roll, Stoner Metal) Alassio, Italy
    Two Decades of Sonic Brutality
    Founded in 2003 by the Boggio brothers and Pixo, Carcharodon has been defying genre boundaries for over twenty years. Starting out as a powerful trio, the band forged a distinctive sound by blending the raw aggression of old-school death metal and death ‘n’ roll with the crushing heaviness of sludge-doom and the relentless speed of thrash. Their 2008 debut album, *Macho Metal*, garnered immediate critical acclaim and propelled the band onto international stages across Europe and the USA. This momentum continued with the 2013 album *Roachstomper* (Altsphere Production) and the 2014 split release *Pizza Commando* (Revalve Records), cementing their reputation as a tireless live act. The band’s evolution took a heavier turn with the arrival of drummer Nuzzi, whose hardcore and grind influences injected new ferocity into the lineup. This era produced the powerful album *Bukkraken* (Argonauta Records, 2018) and the 2023 masterpiece *Sbhorror* (Vacation House Recordings), alongside various split releases and live compilations. Now, in 2026, Carcharodon returns with their most ambitious album to date. Recorded with the same powerhouse lineup as their previous two albums, the new release—titled “Never on your side”—is the fastest and most intense of their career, ready to unleash a sonic assault on the audience. Carcharodon is now older, meaner, and definitely faster. The mighty trio returns with the fastest and fiercest chapter of their twenty-year legacy. These heavy hitters are back to shatter your eardrums in 2026.

    KAMARADI (Heavy/Thrash Metal) Zagreb, Croatia
    An old-school heavy/thrash metal band from Zagreb, founded in late 2014.
    Members and lineup changes:
    The band was founded by Željko Struški “Žac” (guitar + lead vocals), Krešimir Rajković “Kera” (bass + backing vocals), and Mirko Novak “Jim” (drums)—now a former member. Jim was successfully replaced by Dalibor Skadarka “Kljus,” who was in turn replaced by Alen Dumenčić in late 2017; Mateo Češković would later take his place in 2020. In 2022, another guitarist—Mihael Mikac—joined the band. In the second half of 2024, Robert Mahović “Maha” took over the bass position from Krešimir Rajković “Kera.” In late 2025, Željko Struški took over the bass position, Robert Mahović “Maha” left the band, and Josip Bukovščak took over as rhythm guitarist.
    In mid-2026, Mihael Mikac stepped down as guitarist and left the band, leaving Josip Bukovščak as the sole guitarist. At the same time, Željko Struški “Žac” took over the bass position.
    The idea was to create a straightforward metal (heavy, thrash) band without genre limitations, featuring lyrics primarily in Croatian. (The band is currently working on a new album scheduled for release in 2026, featuring lyrics in English.)
    On October 3, 2016, the band released an EP titled “Impetus” via the Miner Records label, featuring four tracks. The full-length album titled “Surovo i sirovo” was released in May 2018 and contains nine songs. The current album, titled “Metal infekcija” (featuring 8 new tracks), was released in May 2022.

    ANGERSEED (Death Metal) Debrecen, Hungary
    Formed in 2008, started by Peter D. Maniak (vocals). The band set itself the aim of Death Metal which is straightforward but at the same time allows complex devices as well.

Angerseed is constantly giving concerts both in their country and beyond borders, and a lot of positive feedback has been received regarding the band’s intense live performance.

Angerseed’s first significant sign of existence was ‘The First Seeds (Before the Reign of Anger)’ EP in 2010. In 2012, as a summary of the band’s previous work, ‘Dawn of a New Kingdom’ EP was released, and got appreciative criticism from critics everywhere without exception. In January 2016 the first full-length album entitled ‘The Proclamation’ was released. This was simply the most earnest and completed work of the band so far, the album already got plenty of enthusiastic recognitions by the Metal mediums far and near. At the end of 2019 the new EP entitled ‘Forever Burning Hatred’ has been available in turn with the length of a full album and the band has stepped to a new level with the record in every aspect.
    The band’s plans for 2025 and 2026 include releasing the new full-length album *Rapture is Mine… Glory is Ours* and achieving significant expansion beyond national borders.
