Ripping Progressive Death Metal / Metalcore from Denton.
Seattle's deathcore battalion has been laying down relentless sonic assaults since reforming in 2024, blending punishing breakdowns with death metal brutality that leaves little room for survivors.
Out of rural Unionville, Tennessee, this black/death metal project unleashes a particularly nasty strain of extremity — snarling tremolo malice colliding with cavernous death metal weight in near-total isolation.
Mesa, Arizona death metallers formed in 2023 with no interest in playing it safe, delivering punishing riff architecture and guttural brutality suited to the unforgiving heat of the Sonoran Desert.
Hailing from Shelton, Washington, this deathcore outfit brings a small-town ferocity to the genre, hammering out suffocating breakdowns and blastbeat onslaughts that punch well above their remote origins.
Phoenix deathcore outfit forged in 2016, combining scorched-earth heaviness with the kind of technical flair that makes the Arizona heat feel even more oppressive — outcast by name, predatory by nature.
Lowell, Massachusetts outfit that began in classic power metal territory and evolved into something far more ferocious — symphonic melodic death metal of genuine scope, with orchestral grandeur underpinning serious heaviness.
Death metal hammered out of Minot, North Dakota since 2022, where the brutal winters apparently breed a particularly raw and uncompromising brand of extremity with no interest in polish or pretense.
Frederick, Maryland's progressive death metal practitioners have been weaving complex, technically demanding compositions since 2010 — the kind of music that rewards close attention with layers that reveal themselves slowly.
Phoenix heavy metal outfit that has been honing their craft since 2012, rooted in classic metal songwriting with hard rock instincts — muscular, direct, and proud of the Arizona sun baking it all in.
Death metal out of the remote Upper Peninsula town of Manistique, Michigan, where isolation apparently breeds a particularly unadorned and unrelenting approach to the genre, formed in 2024.
Wisconsin thrash/death metallers from Silver Lake who have been tearing through the rural Midwest since 2016, fusing the neck-snapping momentum of thrash with the malevolent texture of death metal.
Kalamazoo death metal outfit active since 2016, drawing on the Great Lakes' rusted industrial character to fuel a downtuned, unsparing assault that follows no trend and answers to no one.
Atlanta's melodic death/black metal hybrid emerged in 2021 with a sound split between soaring melodic hooks and outright blackened hostility — the South's answer to the Gothenburg-Dissection axis.
A ferocious black/death/grind amalgam — the Bandcamp URL hints at Texas origins — colliding all three genres into something confrontational and barely contained, refusing to settle into any single extreme.
