Pittsburgh's E.F.6 tears through the intersection of death metal and goregrind with blunt-force efficiency, formed in 2018 and operating in a city with a long tradition of underground extremity.
Portland's Ealdath has been threading doom and death metal together since 2014, drawing on the Northwest's overcast atmosphere to give their sound a particularly cold and funereal weight.
A Salt Lake City act that has quietly developed a blend of melodic death and black metal since 2008, Eallic leans into the melodic side of both genres to craft something darker and more atmospheric than either alone.
Appleton, Wisconsin's Earth Dies Screaming have been running a death/thrash hybrid since 2017 — the kind of band that sounds like it should be playing a sweaty, too-loud venue in a college town at midnight.
Out of Vacaville, California, Earth Down formed in 2015 at the intersection of death metal's brutality, metalcore's crunch, and hardcore's urgency — a heavier-than-average take on a genre crossover that rarely lacks intensity.
Chicago's Earthburner is a death metal and grindcore project that launched in 2024, joining one of the country's strongest underground metal cities with a genre combination designed to do maximum damage in minimum time.
Harrisonburg, Virginia's Earthling has been fusing progressive sensibilities with thrash and death metal since 2011, a combination that brings technical ambition to a corner of the state with a strong tradition of underground heaviness.
Memphis's East ov Eden blends technical death metal's surgical precision with deathcore's brutalist breakdown tendencies, a volatile combination the band has been refining since forming in 2023.
Out of Ojai, California since 2019, this band lives at the collision point of grindcore, death metal, and powerviolence — short songs, maximum hostility, zero tolerance for restraint.
A Ventura, California death-grind act with over a decade behind them, Eat the Living has consistently delivered the kind of gore-soaked, blast-heavy brutality their name promises.
Chicago's Eat Their Own fuses black and death metal into something antagonistic and unapologetic, a product of a city with a long tradition of underground extremity that dates back to their 2015 formation.
Lucas, Texas grindcore since 2014 — Eaten keeps it short, fast, and punishing, with the kind of no-frills approach that made grind powerful in the first place.
Baltimore's Eaten Alive has been at it since 2016, playing straight-ahead death metal in a city that takes its extreme music seriously — no frills, just bone-deep heaviness.
Jacksonville, North Carolina's Eater of Worlds landed in the death/thrash crossroads when they formed in 2020, channeling military-town aggression into riff-heavy, skull-caving metal.
Santa Barbara, California's Eating Fear blends black and death metal into a coastal darkness, active since 2012 and operating outside the typical scenes that tend to define both genres.
