Call of the Void are a US hardcore/grindcore band and this is their latest EP.
Call of the Void operate from a mixture of hardcore, grind and sludge metal influences. This sees them taking all three, rolling them into a dense, dangerous ball and then throwing it as hard as they can at anyone close by.

Sea of Bones and Ramlord are both from the US. Sea of Bones play doom, while Ramlord play hardcore.
Sea of Bones have produced some monolithic, crushing doom/sludge metal in their time, so it’s with great joy that I prepared to listen to their half of this split – a single track named Hopelessness and Decay, lasting just under 11 minutes.

Trap Them are a hardcore band from the US. This is their fifth album.
Trap Them play dark hardcore, full of raw nastiness and rabid bite.
The singer has the perfect voice for this kind of thing; completely feral and utterly aggressive.
