2nd album from 2025 by this Greek band and a welcome return a decade after their debut "Playground of the Dead". Formed in 2012, SYPSIS continues to develop a Technical Thrash Metal style that avoids convention, blending instrumental complexity, aggression and a strong progressive edge.
"Annihilated Existence" delivers a refined mix of technical riffing, tempo changes, intricate melodies and high-level musicianship. Without sacrificing power or intensity, the band crafts dynamic and sophisticated compositions that reveal a significant progression from its debut, establishing SYPSIS as one of the most interesting contemporary acts in the European Technical Thrash Metal scene.

Debut EP from 2021 by the Spanish T TREINTA Y CUATRO, a blast of classic Heavy Metal with touches of Hard Rock, marked by a direct, organic sound with a strong 80s-rooted feel. “Reignición” revives the spirit of traditional Spanish Heavy Metal, with solid riffs, simple yet effective melodies and a raw production that prioritizes energy and attitude over polish.
The EP works as the project’s reintroduction after its revival, combining re-recorded older material with new compositions, maintaining an honest, streetwise approach deeply tied to the classic Spanish Metal scene.
