Cortland, New York's Ecliptic Vision have been grinding away at straight-ahead death metal since 2016 — no frills, no distractions, just the genre's core brutality done with conviction.
Massive Epic Crust / Doom / Thrash Metal out of Texas.
Minneapolis melodic death metal act Ecphasis formed in 2019 with a clear focus on hook and heaviness in equal measure, carrying on a tradition the city has quietly nurtured for decades.
Fresno death metallers Ecryptic have been at it since 2008, delivering the genre's Central Valley strain with the kind of patient, persistent dedication that separates lifers from trend-chasers.
Atlanta's Ecryptus represent the Southern chapter of the death metal underground, active since 2008 with a direct, no-decoration approach that keeps the genre's original brutality front and center.
Seattle's Ectopic Pregnancy, formed in 2024, weaponize brutal death metal and goregrind in the tradition of Pacific Northwest extremity — confrontational, visceral, and unapologetically ugly.
Out of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania — a town with its own ghosts — Ectoplasm have been grinding through the death/grind underground since 2019, their name fitting perfectly for a band rising from historically haunted soil.
Tulsa's Ectospire formed in 2022 with a focused commitment to death metal's core values — a band from Oklahoma's second city finding its footing in the genre's underground.
Birmingham, Alabama's Ectovoid have been cultivating a deeply cavernous strain of death metal since 2011 — murky, subterranean, and rooted in the earliest traditions of the form.
