 Blending metalcore with European EDM, Eskimo Callboy are a German metal band formed in 2010. Based out of Castrop-Rauxel, Germany, members Sebastian "Sushi" Biesler (vocals), Kevin Ratajczak (vocals, keyboards), Daniel Haniß (guitar), Pascal Schillo (guitar), Daniel Klossek (bass), and David Friedrich (drums) have forged a sound that toes the line between pulsing and punishing, combining a late-night dance club vibe with thunderous breakdowns and ferocious screamed vocals. The electronicore outfit made their debut with a self-titled EP in 2010 before releasing their first full-length, Bury Me in Vegas, in 2012. Their sophomore follow-up, We Are the Mess, arrived in 2014 and launched the band onto the German and Austrian charts. The Scene, the band's much anticipated third studio long-player, arrived in 2017, and included the singles "M.C. Thunder," "VIP," and the punishing title track, the latter of which featured a guest spot from Attila's Chris Fronzak.

 Merzbow is a Japanese noise project started in 1979 by Masami Akita. Merzbow is best known for a style of harsh, confrontational noise as exemplified on the 1996 release Pulse Demon. Since 1980, Akita has released over 400 recordings and has collaborated with various artists. The name Merzbow comes from the German dada artist Kurt Schwitters' artwork Merzbau, in which Schwitters transformed the interior of his house using found objects. The name was chosen to reflect Akita's dada influence and junk art aesthetic. In addition to this, Akita has cited a wide range of musical influences from progressive rock, heavy metal, free jazz, and early electronic music to non-musical influences like dadaism, surrealism, and fetish culture. Since the early 2000s, he has been inspired by animal rights and environmentalism, and began to follow a vegan, straight edge lifestyle. In 2000, Extreme Records released the 50 CD box set known as the Merzbox. Akita's work has been the subject of several remix albums and at least one tribute album. This, among other achievements, has helped Merzbow to be regarded by some as the "most important artist in noise".
