Benthos

Benthos are an avant-garde metalcore force emerging from Milan, Italy, combining progressive metal and mathcore elements to carve out a distinctive sound within contemporary heavy music. Since forming in 2018, the band has delivered an ambitious catalogue, including their anticipated album From Nothing, set for release in April 2025 through InsideOutMusic. This album, available in various physical formats, features tracks such as “As a Cordyceps,” “Pure,” and “Fossil,” demonstrating Benthos’ flair for innovative songwriting and technical musicianship.

The group’s body of work is further enriched by recent EPs like Let Me Plunge and As a Cordyceps, as well as the single “Fossil,” which collectively showcase their evolving sonic palette. Their commitment to pushing the boundaries of metal and live music is evident in their intricate compositions and dynamic performances. Notably, Benthos released the single “Talk to Me, Dragonfly! (live at Dissonance Festival)” in October 2023, capturing the energy of their live shows and their place within the European progressive music scene.

In August 2026, Benthos are set to appear at RADAR FESTIVAL #6 at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse, performing as a support act alongside acclaimed headliners such as Animals as Leaders. With a growing reputation for compelling gigs and a bold creative vision, Benthos continue to be a name to watch on the European live music circuit.
