Formed in 2010, Condition Critical delivers high-intensity, no-bullshit thrash metal in the tradition of the genre’s most violent pioneers. Described as “a literal war of sound that attacks you with deadly perfection” (New Wave of Thrash Zine), they’ve built a reputation on relentless riffage, vicious stage presence, and tours across the U.S., Europe, and Russia.

Thrash Metal from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

METAL from Chicago, IL/Gary,IN

From the depths of north Chicago arises Carnotura! Formed in February 2024 by vocalist and guitarist Gerardo Mejia and guitarist Anthony Malkowski. Months later, bassist Edwin Hake and drummer Jack Thom joined in on the journey of absolute metal. However, in 2026, Carnotura welcomed Felipe Lopez as their new bassist, kicking off a new era! They’ve sought to incorporate raw energy into their music for the new generation of rock n’ roll with face-melting riffs, rumbling bass, and slashing drums. Carnotura is the new definition of heavy f#@kin’ metal!
