Carcinoid is a death/doom metal band from Melbourne, Australia, known for their raw, oppressive sound that merges elements of death metal, doom metal, and crust punk. Their music is characterized by:
Crushingly heavy riffs
Slow to mid-tempo pacing with occasional bursts of aggression
Harsh, guttural vocals
A murky, suffocating atmosphere
Lo-fi, analog-style production that adds to their underground aesthetic
Their debut full-length album, Metastatic Declination (2019), received acclaim in the extreme metal scene for its bleak tone and relentless heaviness. Fans of bands like Autopsy, Winter, and Coffins will likely find Carcinoid appealing, especially those who appreciate a primitive, no-frills approach to death/doom.
They’re often praised for maintaining an old-school spirit while injecting their own crusty nihilism into the mix. Think: cavernous riffs dragging you through a decaying, post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Derailment is a sludge/doom metal band from Melbourne, formed in 2015. Known for their abrasive, unfiltered sound, they fuse crushing sludge riffs with grind and noise-rock chaos — drawing comparisons to the heaviest underground acts of the ’90s. Their music is raw, confrontational, and drenched in distortion, often described as a sonic bludgeoning. With members from other extreme bands like Contaminated and ESP Mayhem, Derailment brings a seasoned, DIY ethos to Melbourne’s heavy music scene.
Melbourne’s own Spew Balloon is a sonic gut-punch, launching blasts of grindcore chaos straight from the underground. Formed in the sticky underbelly of the local DIY scene, Spew Balloon fuses blistering speed, distorted fury, and sarcastic nihilism into minute-long assaults that leave nothing but ringing ears and scorched earth.
Unapologetically raw, their sound is a cocktail of grind, punk, and sludge, spat through a throat full of bile. With a name that sounds like a bad trip and a live show that feels like one, Spew Balloon is here to offend, unsettle, and obliterate expectations—one spew at a time.
Overthrone is a ferocious Melbourne-based grindcore unit channeling the chaotic spirit of power‑violence and noise‑punk. Active in the local underground scene, they’ve unleashed raw, confrontational releases like their self-titled Overthrone (2023) and Trying For Our Third Abortion (2024) via CD‑R, each overflowing with abrasive track titles and a DIY aesthetic that refuses polish.
