THORNSPAWN, black metal from Texas,US since 1993.
The permanent members being drummer/vocalist Blackthorn and his wife Hella on bass. They make it work quite nicely with different live musicians depending where they happen to be playing.
This time at least one of the guitarists was from Finland, maybe both of them. Not sure.

 

“Thornspawn shall always have session guitarists. I don’t think I shall ever find or honestly care to find a permanent member, ever. I have set my ways, and I refuse compromises. Things work better with less people trying to dictate or manipulate what is one’s vision or art.“
– Blackthorn about the matter in an interview for canadianassault.com (May 2023)

Interesting band. From Finland, debut album released in 2019. The second one (latest) in May 2021.

 

“It’s an old word of death or signs of death. There are old traditional stories of Finnish people who have seen people who have already died earlier. Like ghosts. But in those days they were called a marras and they predicted that someone is going to die. So maybe a sign of death is the best way to describe it. One has to remember that old Finnish words have plenty of different meanings so don’t get confused if you hear different versions. And by the way, that’s also one of the greatest advantages in the Finnish language; it’s not always what you say, but also how you say it.“ – Valgrinder in an interview for thisisblackmetal.com (2020?)

Never heard or saw them before but loved the stuff immediately:D
Slam/brutal death/goregrind from Finland since 1995. Couldn´t listen to it 24-7 but every now and then and especially live, I really like this kind of brutal shit.

“After many line-up changes and some live shows, the band split up around 1999. In 2001 the band returned for a split with Lymphatic Phlegm and after that called it quits again. However, Goregiastic Records offered them a record deal; the band accepted it and recorded their first full-length Erotic Diarrhea Fantasy.
Torsofuck played their last show in 2009 before splitting up a third time. Several years later two ex-members started a new group in 2017 named Torso. After years of consideration, Torsofuck officially reformed in autumn 2022.” – E. Metallum

First band on stage on the last day. “Licht des Urteils” means “Light of the Judgment” in German, the guys are from Tampere, Finland and the band was formed in 2018. Unsigned/independent according to E. Metallum.
Again, lights/fog combo very hard to handle, so shitty pics:/
