Eugene, OR · 2021–present · active
Skeld is a raw black/death metal project out of Eugene, Oregon, formed in 2021, working in the lo-fi, corrosive tradition where production rawness is a feature rather than a limitation. Their music is primitive and deliberately abrasive, carved out of Oregon's underground with sharp edges left intact.
York, PA · 2018–present · active
Skeletal 69 is a York, Pennsylvania death metal band formed in 2018, playing in the old-school tradition with a no-nonsense approach to brutality that fits the blue-collar industrial character of their hometown. Their music prioritizes riff weight and morbid energy over technical flash.
· 2022–present · active
Skeletal Encapsulation is a death metal project formed in 2022, working in the heavily ornate tradition of technical and brutal death metal where every song is a study in layered heaviness and dense arrangement. The project operates without a public geographic anchor, letting the music speak on its own violent terms.
San Diego, CA · 2004–present · active
Skeletal Incineration is a San Diego, California death/black/thrash metal band formed in 2004, forging a destructive hybrid of the three styles that leans into the darkest corners of each — the speed of thrash, the malevolence of black metal, and the low-end grotesquerie of death metal. San Diego has historically been fertile ground for this kind of cross-genre extreme metal brutality.
Rockford, IL · 2021–present · active
Skeletal Prison is a death/thrash metal band from Rockford, Illinois, formed in 2021, channeling the aggression of late-80s Teutonic thrash and early Florida death metal into a sound that is punishing, riff-forward, and uncompromising. Rockford's rust-belt grit is a fitting backdrop for this kind of stripped-down, mechanical heaviness.
Whittier, CA · 2011–present · active
Skeletal Remains is a Whittier, California death metal band formed in 2011, widely recognized as one of the most accomplished practitioners of old-school death metal in the contemporary underground — their technically refined but atmosphere-rich style draws deep from the Florida and European wells. They have built a dedicated international following through consistent, high-quality releases that never chase trends.
Deep River, CT · 2011–present · active
Skeletal Remains (CT) is a Deep River, Connecticut death/thrash metal band also formed in 2011, occupying a distinctly different space from their California namesake — they play a harder-edged, thrash-inflected form of death metal with a New England underground roughness. The Connecticut scene has historically flown under the radar, and this band reflects that independent, unsung character.
Ridley, PA · 2021–present · active
Skeleton Proof Tanks is a melodic death/thrash metal band from Ridley, Pennsylvania, formed in 2021, blending the melodic sensibility of the Gothenburg tradition with the raw kinetic energy of American thrash. Their name alone signals an irreverent streak that sits alongside otherwise earnest extreme metal aspirations.
Austin, TX · 2003–present · active
Originally from Ohio, now Austin-based. Blackened thrash perfection.
