Nasum was a grindcore band from Örebro, Sweden. The band was formed during the later part of 1992 by Anders Jakobson (guitar) and Rickard Alriksson (drums/vocals) as a sideproject to the death metal band Necrony. The idea was to create true grindcore in the vein of old Napalm Death. Spring 1993: Necrony's homelabel, German Poserslaughter Records offered Nasum to share a 7" EP with Australian goregrinders Blood Duster. Nasum accepted the offer, but in time the record turned out to be a Nasum/Agathocles split-7" EP.

The Acacia Strain is a metalcore/hardcore band from Chicopee, Massachusetts, US that formed in 2001. The band have since undergone numerous changes in their lineup. To date, they've released five studio albums, as well as two split albums. The Acacia Strain have said they dislike genre labels and instead describe themselves as "heavy." "You might hear other music that sounds like it, but those bands can't touch what we have. We have heart. We mean it."

Damnations Day band members all residing in Geelong, Australia, originally started jamming together about two years ago.
The band formed in mid 2005 when Mark (Vocals) and Dean (Drums) started jamming with their long time friend and neighbour Luke (Bass). It wasn't long until Luke introduced the brothers to Sean (Guitars/Vocals) and with that Adam (Guitars) became the final member of the band after Sean invited him along to jam with them one afternoon. In that first session the track that would eventually become the name of the band one year later "Damnations Day" was created.
