The Fifth Alliance
The Fifth Alliance started out late 2006 as a shared passion for hardcore and metal. Influenced by legendary bands as Converge, Botch, Coalesce, Burst, Poison The Well and loads more, The Fifth Alliance brings a heavy grooving sound of controlled dissonance and rhythmic twists. This resulted in the ‘Fear Consumption’ MCD, released late 2007, which brought them lots of shows, reaching bigger audiences, and gaining lots of praise within the Benelux. In September 2009 their new MCD ‘Reflections Of Consciousness’ will be released under the flag of Crossfirecult Records.

The vile creation
Early 2009 Ramon (guitars) and Ruben (drums) (both ex - Solitary Fall) decided they wanted to make some brutal music again. Ramon composed a song and asked Wouter (Vocals, ex - Solitary Fall) to do the vocals on the freshly recorded demo. Soon after that they realized how much they missed making brutal music. They recruited Richard on bass and started to prepare to record a 5-track EP. The band might be around for just a short period of time but they managed to create some brutal, shredding modern death metal. In Dutch they say 'wat goed is komt snel' (if something's good it'll surface quickly) and I can only agree with that! The Vile Creation, the sound of the new millennium....

Superior
Superior finally strikes back with their new full length cd ‘All Is Ending’. It took a while before this monster was released but believe me when I say it was well worth the wait. Superior still play their own blend of metalcore with hints of beatdown and NYHC. Fans of Crawlspace, Surge Of Fury and Wisdom In Chains be warned!

Deathbox
Some bands choose an easy path to follow, others decide to take a much harder road to glory. Deathbox is one of the latter. It took Deathbox several years to distil the perfect blend of technical metal with the occasional breakdown but they managed to pull it off. The Black Dahlia Murder, The Red Chord and Gojira come to mind.
