Guitarist/vocalist, Olof "Enforcer" Wikstrand, founded the one-man band with the two song Evil Attacker demo in 2005, which introduced Enforcer to the Swedish metal scene. The band grew into a four-piece and released its first full-length, Into The Night, in 2008. Enforcer first toured North America in 2009 with Cauldron, and in 2010 delivered its sophomore effort, Diamonds, while assaulting audiences worldwide at Metalcamp, Bloodstock, Hole In The Sky, Dynamo, Keep It True, Rockstad: Falun, and Hell's Pleasure festivals. Earlier this year, the band released their fourth album From Beyond which was produced, mixed and mastered by the band themselves.

Century Media’s Warbringer built a reputation for themselves. The Southern California thrash metal band were part of every major tour around the globe for five years straight. In that time it was miraculous that they found time to record four albums of unrelenting aggression. The band has been a force to be reckoned with as they have kept the torch of the destructive , instance music held high even though they have had numerous lineup changes. Warbringer plans on US tours throughout the summer in between writing for a their next album Warbringer's 4th album effort "IV: Empires Collapse", which was released via Century Media Records in October 2013, was recorded with producer Steve Evetts (Sepultura, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Suicide Silence), mixed by Brett Eliason (Pearl Jam, Heart, BoySetsFire) and mastered by Alan Douches / West West Side Music (Cannibal Corpse, Hatebreed, Converge).

Prosthetic Records Exmortus takes no mercy on the highways of North America. The Southern California quartet, whose invigorating twin-guitar mix of neoclassical shred, Bay Area thrash, progressive death and traditional heavy metal has earned the group a devoted following in the Western U.S.. The band spent much of 2014 touring with the likes of Dark Tranquility, Destruction, Krisun, Arsis and Flostsa and Jetsam, among others in support of their acclaimed album Slave To The Sword. Exmortus is now returning to Sharkbite Studios with producer Zack Ohren (Suffocation, Immolation) to begin tracking their sophomore album which is set to be released this fall. Their exuberant, shred-heavy live performances can convert even the most jaded heshers into enthusiastic headbangers.

Earache’s Cauldron was born from the ashes of genre-defining, critically lauded Goat Horm. The band, who were influenced by Celtic Frost, Judas Priest and Cathedral, offer a slab of true heavy metal, dripping in melody and snarling with attitude. Cauldron song writing proves why they have continued to soar above and beyond their peers even receiving a prestigious nomination for Best Metal Record at Canada’s Juno awards similar to the U.S. Grammy. Their last album Tomorrows Lost was a slice of pure heavy metal with more riffs, more attitude and more modern metal classics. Released in October 2012 to both fan and critical acclaim. No gimmicks, no tricks - just true, unadulterated heavy metal.
