Stillbirth

Stillbirth is a brutal death metal outfit hailing from Germany, blasting eardrums since 1999 with their unrelenting blend of slamming grooves and grindcore-infused chaos. Known for their visceral live shows and cartoonishly violent lyrical themes (think zombies, gore, and apocalyptic nihilism), the band has carved a niche in the underground with releases like *Revive the Throne* (2022) and *Homo Deus* (2020) on Rising Nemesis Records. Founding member Lukas Swiaczny (vocals) leads the carnage alongside guitarist Dave, bassist Benny, and drummer Jossi, maintaining a DIY ethos while collaborating with acts like Cytotoxin and hosting their long-running "Stillbirth Across Germany" tour series. Though not mainstream giants, their consistency—13 studio albums deep—and cult-favorite anthems like *You Can’t Kill Us* cement them as workhorses of European extreme metal.
