| Mahumodo make estrained melodic highly creative hardcore/nu-metal that's a heavy as anyone when it needs to be - What Mahumodo have over the others is their understanding of light and shade, that restraint can add to the brutality Mahumodo are a more "at ease with themselves" version of Earthtone9 with a bit of old school Pantera power around their edges and some dark moody colour all of their own. Mahumodo are adding a little extra here, they've taken a little time to really get their sound together and come up with something just a little different than the others. Mahumodo are like a nu-metal sound track to a Sergio Leone movie - delicate intense screaming musical violence just for the sake of it, for the pure bloody beauty of it.... Yes, it is like the first time you heard Earthtone9 or Raging Speedhorn or Medulla Nocte, but the thing that really makes this band stand out is the dark brooding passages, a brooding theme that links all their songs together.

Descent are described by Kerrang! magazine as "a colision of gutteral growls and sinister rumblings, think Pantera meets Machine Head" Formed in the summer of 1998, Middlesex based Descent are a 3 piece band that combine the detuned heaviness of Machine Head, the technical skills of Carcass, and the kind of personal lyrics only Life of Agony and Korn touch upon. Their self-financed album "In the System" has received killer reviews from Kerrang!, Intoxicated, Godreah etc. Signed to the same management as Earthtone9, Snub, Medula Nocte etc. Descent have played with bands such as Raging Speedhorn and Tourni-k and are currently playing in and around London and the south of England. "The most energetic and brutal live band in the area." Check out the website HERE at and definately check them out live!! Click to listen to Relapse from their debut album.

Scattered Breed formed in 1992 and together they form a highly original set up than can not be labelled in any one category. They have developed their own style to create noisy but intelligently beautiful harmonies. The lyrical content is very deep and meaningful as singer Justin channels all his hurt and pain through his lyrics and this comes across on stage and on record. Visit their web site HERE |
