Father Befouled
Death Metal / Doom
Father Befouled

Formed in 2006, Father Befouled play unholy and desolate death metal. After some demo tracks online garnered interest, an EP, "Profano ad Regnum" was released in 2008 and the band began playing regional shows in the US. A full length, "Obscurus Nex Cultus" quickly followed and after more shows and a couple of split releases, the band signed to Relapse Records for the release of "Morbid Destitution of Covenant" in 2010. The band laid low for a couple of years before playing the inaugural Martyrdoom Festival in New York in 2012, which coincided with the release of their third full length, "Revulsion of Seraphic Grace" on Dark Descent Records. 2015 saw the release of "Enthroning Desolation" - a compilation of demo, split, live, and rare tracks - and a short tour of the East Coast. In 2017 the band headlined the Blood of the Wolf Festival in Lexington, Kentucky, as well as a performance at Maryland Deathfest to celebrate the release of their fourth album "Desolate Gods." The band embarked on their first European tour in May of 2019, releasing an EP, "Holy Rotten Blood," and capping off with a performance at the Netherlands Deathfest.

2022 will see the release of their 5th album, «Crowned in Veneficum,» a 9-song paean to the poisonous raptures of death metal and unholy blasphemy. A 2022 European tour is in the works with a stop at the now-twice postponed Killtown Deathfest in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Krypts
During their formation in 2008, the vision behind Krypts was to play Death metal. While in the past decade their sound has evolved into something more complex and sinister, the core sound has remained the same: a dark mixture of Death and Doom metal.   The band has released two full-length albums, 'Unending Degradation' and 'Remnants of Expansion', through Dark Descent Records which have gained   wide recognition in the underground and metal press (Decibel, Inferno, Cvltnation, Rock Hard...). Prior to these, they have released 'Open the Crypt' 12"-demo and a self-titled 7" EP through Me Saco Un Ojo and now defunct Detest Records.    Having performed dozens of exclusive performances in festivals and clubs all over Europe – from Dublin to Istanbul – the band is also heading to the U.S to perform in the California Deathfest and Dark Descent anniversary event. They are known for their oppressive and unforgiving concerts, where the band plays from the heart and "one can get lost under the dark atmosphere".   In September 2017 after many requests the band decided to embark on their first tour with Jupiterian. After very successful first round, Krypts and Jupiterian will join forces once more. During the late Spring / early Summer 2019 the concert halls shall rumble under hypnotic atmosphere.
ENCOFFINATION (US) Death Metal / Doom
Encoffination

Encoffination formed in 2009 with the intent of creating the most suffocating and abysmal doom/death metal imaginable. Textured by the croak and groan of the tomb lid closing and the ethereal darkness of death, this two-piece is the embodiment of the obscure miasma of death.

Jupiterian
Formed in 2013, Jupiterian create a slow, heavy, oppressive and dissonant wall of sound. After a few concerts and line-up changes, the band recorded their first songs, re- leasing the "Archaic" EP in 2014. In the same year, they started writing their first full length, "Aphotic". It was released in 2015, and the album caught attention from sev- eral websites and blogs worldwide, including Cvlt Nation, where it was pointed among the best Doom Metal albums of 2015.   The band promoted "Aphotic" with several concerts in Brazil and two small interna- tional tours in 2016: the first one in Chile, and the second in Europe along with bra- zilian Doom Metal veterans Mythological Cold Towers, including a concert in Neth- erlands as a part of Dutch Doom Days' cast.   Also in 2016, Jupiterian released the "Urn" EP, where they pay tribute to some of their main influences, playing Anathema's Mine Is Yours To Drown In (Ours Is The New Tribe) and Black Sabbath's Behind The Wall Of Sleep. Their Black Sabbath cover was featured at a Cvlt Nation tribute to Black Sabbath's first album, among other covers made by bands such as Beastmaker, Mindkult and Witchthroat Serpent. Their first EP, "Archaic", was re-released among "Urn" in a CD format, called "Archaic: Process Of Fossilization", of which copies are all sold out now.   In 2017, the band signed with the reputed Indian label Transcending Obscurity Re- cords and released their second full length, "Terraforming", with more dynamic songs while keeping their main characteristics such as heaviness and slow tempos intact. The record was phenomenally well received around the world and its first pressing has already sold out, receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews by great vehicles such as Decibel Magazine and Metal Injection, and also Cvlt Nation, where "Terraforming" was ranked as the best Doom Metal album of the year!   In late 2017, the band made their second European tour, along with Krypts (FIN) and Hexer (GER), receiving amazing feedback. Their appearance at NRW Death- fest, in Wermelskirchen (GER), deserves a special mention, as for the first time in 14 years of the festival's existence, a Doom Metal band played at their stage.   Currently, Jupiterian are busy promoting their massive full length and putting out new formats after all the original ones got sold out, while simultaneously working on innovative ideas for its successor.
