DEVILDRIVER (www.devildriver.com)

DEVILDRIVER released their newest album, Beast, this summer. The band's many influences range from Metallica to Opeth, to In Flames and Primus, and the resulting sound is a brutal combination of melodic death metal and heavy grooves.

THE FACELESS (www.myspace.com/thefaceless)

THE FACELESS has slammed through lineup changes and extensive touring to bring you a crushing blend of technical death metal amidst rumors of a brand new album that is soon to be released.

DYING FETUS (www.myspace.com/dyingfetus)

One of the most infamous and influential death metal bands of the past decade, legendary DYING FETUS pummel and pound their signature-style brutality into the worldwide landscape with the subtlety of full-fledged war. They are set to pulverize the Metal Alliance tour after coming off a South American tour in support of their upcoming album.

JOB FOR A COWBOY (www.jfacmetal.com)

3 INCHES OF BLOOD (www.myspace.com/3iob)

Born out of a love for pure metal, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD have been slaying the infidels of extreme music for nearly a decade. Hailing from Vancouver, they draw fuel from their favorite artists, including Judas Priest, Mercyful Fate, UFO, and Rainbow, and compile it all into their own deadly potion.

IMPENDING DOOM (www.myspace.com/impendingdoom)
