BOUND BY ENDOGAMY, Deathrite, Raze

BOUND BY ENDOGAMY: Bound By Endogamy is a duo active since 2019. It is made up of Kleio Thomaïdes and Shlomo Balexert. Both musicians come from the squat/punk scene. Their live project consists of drums, a sampler and female vocals. It has been described as a cross between DAF and Kleenex with a more hardcore background. They began by producing a remix for The Horrorist on RIOT Radio Records, a remix for Carlo Onda on Cold Transmission and electro tracks on Intellitronic Bubble compilations. Their first 7» was released in 2021 on Zurich label Lux Rec. Their following EP, released as a 6-track cassette on US label Dead Channel, was reissued on vinyl in November 2023 by a triple coalition consisting of Màgia Roja (Barcelona), Les Mauvais Garçons (Paris), and Bongo Joe Records (Geneva). In the aftermath, an eponymous 8-track LP was released on December 2023 by Bongo Joe Records. Their first release this year, on March 1, is a split vinyl EP with Raw Ambassador on the Acid Avengers series published by French label Tripalium Corp. BBE has already toured Switzerland, France, Belgium, Holland, Spain, Greece and Turkey, and performed in the UK for the first time in February 2024 for a live session on BBC 6. The duo also offers live dj sets and mixes for podcasts and webradios. DEATHRITE: Deathmetal/Punk Bastard. RAZE: RAZE is a heavy metal band from Berlin, with members of Maggot Heart/Girlschool, and Occvlta. Inspired by the likes of Sepultura, Sacrilege, and Venom, their sound is fast, aggressive and relentless. Their debut demo came out on cassette in 2023 and sold out quickly, putting them on the radar across the European underground. With just that release, they’ve already played festivals like Chaos Descends and shared stages with Carcass and Power Trip. Since then, they’ve kept busy gigging, building a reputation through consistent shows and writing new material. Their debut full-length is set for release in 2026.
