V Trstu je začel delovati projekt In Grind We Trst, ki o sebi pravi:
»Gre za nov projekt, ki se začne od spodaj gor in ga sestavlja skupina ljudi, ki je do sedaj organizirala koncerte s kolektivom Trieste Hardcore in jim posvetila čas, strast in osebno žrtvovanje. S tem projektom želimo nadaljevati dobre stvari, ki smo jih zgradili do sedaj, in kot vedno brez prikritih namenov ali zaradi dobička. Veseli bomo vseh punk, grind, hardcore in death metal skupin in nasploh vseh skupin, ki igrajo zvrsti, ki izhajajo iz omenjenih in so del njihove zgodovine, pa tudi norih in eksperimentalnih skupin, ki se trudijo, da ustvarijo nekaj drugačnega in novega. S svojo močjo in vašo prisotnostjo želimo dati življenje drugačnim, ustvarjalnim, svobodnim in neobvezujočim kontekstom. Želimo vlagati brez dobička, razen zadovoljstva, da smo to storili, v prizmatični in kalejdoskopski realnosti. Grind pomeni "mletje" in želimo razbiti vse v naprej določene sheme ter biti zvesti temu, kar v resnici smo, izražati svojo individualnost s tem, da delamo tisto, kar nam predstavlja največjo strast.«

Ukrajinska post/black metal zasedba White Ward je bila zaradi situacije v Ukrajini žal primorana odpovedati vse načrtovane nastope in turneje. Spodaj lahko preberete izjavo banda:
»Dear friends,
With a heavy heart, we need to inform you that our April tour is canceled. Last 2 weeks we fought for the fate of the tour. We tried all the possible ways, but the system proved to be stronger.
So, let's make it clear about what happened and about the reasons for the cancellation.
Right now “wartime” restrictions are applied in Ukraine, and they include limitations for men in ages 18-60 to cross the border, because it is a range when men are available for military service. So, there is a need to get special permission from state authorities to travel out of Ukraine. During the year 2022 the Ministry Of Culture helped Ukrainian musicians and different artists and assisted in acquiring such permits (for a limited time) and that is why we, and many other bands, were able to play in Europe last year.
But a working algorithm that allows to control the “way back” was not created and responsibilities related to the violations of the permission terms - were nowhere written. And that is why some impudent people just used this opportunity to run out of Ukraine and decided not to come back. Very few cases are known, but after the last one, which raised a lot of noise and dissatisfaction in the media, the Ministry Of Culture decided to implement immediate changes and new rules, even for artists who have already sent a request for permit weeks before an accident - we have sent such request on February, 20th. That is the reason why many Ukrainian bands like Schizogen, Bezlad, The Hypnotunez, Kazka, and many more have already canceled or almost canceled their tours. Some bands were affected when they were already at the border and shows should take place the next day, but due to new rules, they were not allowed to leave Ukraine!
The new rules suppose some additional documents to a request. In our case, every member of the band has his own difficulties in acquiring that, even with an immediate start - there is no guarantee that the process will be successful and accomplished in time. Also, that is anyway not a guarantee that the request will be approved - our colleagues` request was refused even with all the requested documents. So, we just can't get this permission and it is over.
We have tried everything, and the media noise was our last hope. But it hasn’t worked, unfortunately. Months of work, preparations, money - all this is now in vain.
We sincerely apologize to our fans, promoters, and everyone who helped us with this tour. We hope that one day we will make this tour real, and you will wait for us. We will still try to figure something out before Hellfest and August festivals, but no new tour announcements till the end of the war will be made.
But, the one and only responsible for this is russia. They broke everything by invading our country, killing our children, bombing our cities, destroying our culture, and applying all fascist methods to destroy us and we will never forget what they DID and are still DOING!«
