FOSSILIZATION (BRAZIL)

Death metal powerhouse, Fossilization, returns to Europe in 2026 to promote their sophomore album, Advent of Wounds, set for release in January via Everlasting Spew Records. This new chapter, marks the most intense and brutal evolution in the band's career to date.

Following the success of their previous releases, He Whose Name Was Long Forgotten and Leprous Daylight; a standout performance at Maryland Deathfest 2024; two successful European tours, alongside Altars (2023) and Father Befouled (2024), including appearances at major festivals such as Kill-Town Death Fest, L’Homme Sauvage, and the fourth edition of Candelabrum Metal Fest in León, Mexico, Fossilization is set to bring perpetual desolation to European stages once more.

PHOBOCOSM

Montreal’s Phobocosm will embark on a European tour in 2026 in support of their forthcoming album, Gateway, set for release on November 28th, 2025 through Dark Descent Records. The album is both a continuation and an expansion of the band’s sound, an unrelenting exploration of atmosphere, dissonance, and decay that cements their place within the dark depths of death metal.

Since the release of Deprived, Bringer of Drought, and Foreordained, Phobocosm has cultivated a sound rooted in suffocating darkness and tension, where crushing weight and bleak atmosphere coexist in constant unease. Their sound fuses dissonance, weight, and slow-burning tension into an atmosphere of utter desolation, a reflection of existential collapse rendered through sound.

In the wake of Foreordained, Phobocosm completed a 2024 European tour alongside Fuoco Fatuo, including appearances at Kill-Town Death Fest (London) and Black Waves Festival (Jarocin, Poland), as well as a performance at Decibel Metal & Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado. The band will now embark on a European tour in 2026, where they will deliver a live experience of suffocating atmosphere and crushing intensity.

SMOULDERING TOMB

Smouldering Tomb is oppressive and dense- harking back to grotesqueries introduced in the 'gos by the likes of Incantation, Gorguts and Mortician. Presenting misanthropic views of world powers through their blistering songs, Smouldering Tomb's sound and subject matter has immediately struck a chord with the UK metal scene- securing them numerous interviews and podcast appearances, festival slots across the country, and a place on bills alongside bands such as Portrayal of Guilt, Putrid Offal, Foetal Juice, Scordatura, Coffin Mulch, and Cryptworm.
