Sete Star Sept

Nailbomb was an industrial-thrash side project formed in 1993 by Max Cavalera, then frontman of Sepultura, and English musician Alex Newport of Fudge Tunnel, welding grinding industrial metal and thrash to crust punk and sludge. Their lone studio album, Point Blank (Roadrunner, 1994), was cut largely by the duo with session help from Sepultura bandmates Igor Cavalera (drums) and Andreas Kisser (guitar) plus Fear Factory's Dino Cazares. The band played only a warm-up show and a set at the 1995 Dynamo Open Air Festival, documented on the live album Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide, before disbanding; its harsh, sample-laced attack became a cult touchstone of 90s extreme metal.

A UK extreme-metal collaboration led by Wildhearts frontman Ginger Wildheart with Scott Lee Andrews (Exit International) and drummer Denzel, functioning as a revolving-door supergroup anchored by Napalm Death's Shane Embury. The double debut The Frankenstein Effect / Error 500 (2013) folds in Merzbow noise and Mark E. Smith spoken-word, veering from melodic pop-metal hooks into industrial noise-grind chaos. Error 500 was released on Mike Patton's Ipecac Recordings.

Bologna Violenta is the noise/electrogrind project of Treviso violinist and multi-instrumentalist Nicola Manzan, founded in 2005. Early releases built distorted guitar, strings and electronic drums around samples from 1970s Italian poliziottesco cinema; the project expanded into a duo in 2015 with drummer Alessandro Vagnoni and later shifted toward violin-led arrangements on Cortina (2017) and Bancarotta Morale (2020), with 2026's OBLOMOVISMO returning to its cybergrind roots. Manzan has also worked as a sideman for Baustelle and Il Teatro degli Orrori and collaborated with J. Randall of Agoraphobic Nosebleed.

Zone Eater is the sample-based 'slug metal / dethwave' solo project of Alex Koenig — better known for his vaporwave-adjacent Nmesh project — active since 2015 and based in Louisville, Kentucky. Its debut EP Triangle Island (2015) chops death metal and grindcore samples into chaotic collages, described by Darkfloor Sound as 'a raucous, intense ride of sonics and slurred samples.' Koenig has since released a two-hour collaborative double album with San Francisco's Sea of Dogs on the CHAMBER 38 cassette label.

Intestinal Disgorge is a noisegrind/brutal death metal project from San Antonio, Texas, running since 1996 and centered on member "R" (drums, guitars, bass, electronics, additional vocals). Starting as a straightforward goregrind act, the project shifted in the 2010s toward a self-described "Absurd DeathNoiseGrind"/"GlitchGrind" sound that runs power electronics, cut-up production, harsh noise and cybergrind through brutal death-grind songwriting, with one reviewer likening it to "a Grindcore version of Gnaw Their Tongues." The band's extensive discography of albums, EPs, splits and demos is released through Meat 5000 Records.

Disfiguring the Goddess is the long-running solo vehicle of Cameron Argon — better known as dubstep producer Big Chocolate — who writes, produces, and performs everything himself, fusing brutal slam/deathcore with dubstep-derived electronic programming. It's less a scene band than an outsider hybrid: extreme-metal viciousness filtered through EDM production instincts, with lyrical fixations on cosmic horror and video games. Nearly two decades of self-released and Seek & Strike-backed output (Circle of Nine through 2026's Bloom) have made it one of underground death metal's more idiosyncratic solo-project success stories.

Zelophilia is the solo studio project of Lou Kelly, based in Ukiah, California, releasing one full-length, Lust, Loathing & Love, in December 2011. Blends death metal, hardcore, and mathcore with baroque classical touches and absurdist, humor-laced songwriting.

Patau is a Boston, Massachusetts noise/industrial project self-described as 'experimental electronic hardcore techno industrial metal noise,' with Rate Your Music tagging it Avant-Garde Metal, Power Noise, and Experimental. Releases include Krrrenž (2018) and Not One, Not Some, Not All (2021), delivered with confrontational, anti-capitalist framing.

KLoAK are a Danish speed metal/noise/experimental band from Billund, formed 1998, fronted by Anders Jørgen Mogensen — one of Escho's co-founders, alongside Düreforsög drummer Andreas Hauer-Jensen. The band became friends with and supported Düreforsög on tour, and Düreforsög's Nis Bysted and Boris Schiøler both guest on KLoAK recordings.

Angelwings Marmalade is Angel Marcloid's noise/cybergrind outlet — the looser, harsher counterpart to her better-known blackened-new-age project Fire-Toolz. Where Fire-Toolz builds structured genre-collage songs, Angelwings Marmalade leans into harsh noise, musique concrete, noisecore and cybergrind textures, often stitched together from years of accumulated source material and guest vocal/sample contributions. It's one of several aliases (alongside MindSpring Memories, Nonlocal Forecast, Toad Computers) through which Marcloid works out a specific corner of her sound.
