A melodic death metal outfit from Wheeling, West Virginia, Psalms of Silence blends the hook-driven melodicism of the Gothenburg tradition with a heavier, American brutality. Active since 2017, they channel somber atmosphere into punishing riff structures.
A South Carolina death-grind outfit formed in 2021, Psionic Madness attacks from both ends of the extreme spectrum — brutal death metal density colliding with grindcore's frantic pace and compacted song structures.
Chicago's Psoriasis have been pushing a no-frills death metal agenda since 2012, rooted in the gritty Midwestern underground ethos with suffocating riffs and a relentless, forward-driving attack.
A very recent entry from Silver Spring, Maryland, Psychiatric Collapse formed in 2024 and plays a brutal hybrid of death metal and grindcore — short, furious, and clinically violent in its execution.
Brutal Death Metal, Goregrind from Dallas.
A Missouri deathcore act launched in 2023, Psycho-Frame blends the pulverizing breakdown architecture of deathcore with death metal's technical savagery, carving out a dense and relentlessly downtuned sound from the American heartland.
Hailing from Michigan City, Indiana, Psychomancer have been conjuring death-thrash metal since 2015 — their sound sits at the intersection of technical thrash aggression and old-school death metal weight, with deep roots in the Great Lakes underground.
Rochester, New York's Psychopath channel melodic death metal through an American lens — formed in 2019, they pair Scandinavian-influenced melody and harmony with a rawer, more direct approach that suits the upstate underground circuit.
Keyport, New Jersey's Psychosis play straight-ahead death metal with a focused, underground-first approach — formed in 2017, they operate in the tradition of classic East Coast brutality, favoring density and aggression over experimentation.
