The elusive Dragged Into Sunlight possess an increasing number of members, known by their initials.

Having gained notoriety for their exclusive, vicious and ritualistic live performances, Dragged Into Sunlight has established a presence throughout Europe, Japan and the U.S. touring with heavy hitters such as Eyehategod, Weedeater, Black Cobra, Rwake, Today is the Day, Mayhem and Soilent Green.

In 2008, the band released a limited tape 'Terminal Aggressor' which was extensively traded, before selling out.

The band's debut full-length 'Hatred for Mankind' produced by Tom Dring (Corrupt Moral Altar), and released on Mordgrimm Records (Anaal Nathrakh), drew comparison to fellow lifers Incantation, Rudimentary Peni and Wolves In the Throne Room. The recording summoned an immediate cult following and set the benchmark for an ultimately unique and extreme sound.

Scribed as thriving "on chaos…. dirty smoke, coke mirrors and painful feedback" (Iron Fist) and assuring the worst is yet to come, Dragged Into Sunlight repressed Hatred for Mankind on Prosthetic Records in 2011.

The monolithic 'Widowmaker' surfaced in 2012 to widespread critical acclaim, a single 40 minute recording, praised as "a systematic rite of destruction whose domineering scorched earth tactics leave no synapse or nerve ending unscathed" (Metal Hammer).

Denver, Colorado's Primitive Man was formed in February of 2012 by Ethan Lee McCarthy, Jonathan Campos, and Bennet Kennedy (current and former members of Withered, Clinging To The Trees of A Forest Fire, Death of Self and Reproacher).

In October of 2012 they recorded their debut LP "Scorn" at Flatline Audio with Dave Otero (Cephalic Carnage, Cobalt, Catheter, CTTTOAFF). Scorn was released a collaboration between Throatruiner and Mordgrimm Records. After the release of "Scorn" the band parted ways with Kennedy and recruited Isidro "Spy" Soto to take over on drums. The band also self-released a three-song EP in February titled P/M.

Primitive Man unleashed a filthy, malignant maelstrom of blackened doom on their debut album 'Scorn. Thrillingly misanthropic in their approach, Primitive Man drench their post-apocalyptic vision of the world in waves of feedback, pummeling guitars and hopelessly frightening vocals. If a bright end of summer record is what you're in need of, run as fast as you can from Primitive Man's 'Scorn'—this is grade-a hateful, soul-annihilating music of the darkest order. Dubbed a " totally malignant sounding record and one that will consume you whole if you're not careful," by Cvlt Nation, commended for merging "the oppressive weight of doom with the misanthropic bile of black metal" by Blabbermouth and called, "the best worst thing that has ever happened to you," in an 8/10 review from Metal Hammer, 'Scorn' finds Primitive Man celebrating a slow-roasted apocalypse through seven suffocating hymns of hatred, disease and sonic deviance.

In June of 2013, Primitive Man signed to Relapse Records. Relapse will reissue Scorn in the summer. Primitive Man will tour the US in July-August with Reproacher.

Cult Leader are the next evolutionary leap forward for three-quarters of Gaza, arguably one of the best metallic bands of the last decade. After the early 2013 dissolution of the aforementioned band, remaining members Michael Mason, Casey Hansen, and Anthony Lucero were joined by bassist Sam Richards to form this brand new beast.
