The album was supported with extensive live shows in Greece but also opening slots for Vektor and Sodom, establishing the band as one of the most powerful live young bands of the Greek scene.

Despite the known post covid show frenzy, Rapture managed to perform more live shows, from the end of 2021 and 2022, among them being shows with Death Courier, an exclusive performance in Portugal at Extreme Metal Attack festival, a short German tour with label mates Dehuman Reign and finishing 2022, with a direct support to Nile’s packed Athenian show – as requested guests from Nile.

**Burial Remains **
Dutch brutal force BURIAL REMAINS spews forth old school death metal the Swedish way. Formed in 2017 to honor the legacy of ENTOMBED, DISMEMBER, GRAVE and CARNAGE, the band quickly grew into an entity of its own, playing leading underground events like Pitfest, Schoonebeek Deathfest and Drachten Deathfest

In 2021, the band paid tribute to their fallen friend Sven by releasing the ‘As Blood Rains From The Sky’-EP, that includes a cover version of the eponymous FLESHCRAWL-classic as well as a brand new song. While continuing to play selective shows, the band has commenced writing the third album and prepares for the next chapter of chaos!

From the Crypt
FROM THE CRYPT is a brutal death metal band from the southern region of the Netherlands. The band was formed in 2022 with members bonded by their shared love of old school death metal. The 5 members of FROM THE CRYPT combine old school death metal (Obituary/Bolt Thrower) with the more up and coming death metal such as Gatecreeper and Frozen Soul. Their music contains knuckle dragging slow riffs, face melting caveman drum parts end low gurgling vocals that are coming from beyond the grave. FROM THE CRYPT stands for uncompromising, straightforward brutal death metal. Make no mistake about it, you will get a headbang guaranteed live experience. FROM THE CRYPT released a 3 track demo in 2023 and will release new monstrous music in the spring of 2024.
