Madison, Wisconsin death metal outfit delivering punishing riffs and guttural extremity in the tradition of the Midwest underground. Their raw, uncompromising approach keeps the genre's most brutal instincts front and center.
Florida-bred death metal and hardcore crossover act merging the punishing heaviness of extreme metal with the aggression and directness of hardcore punk. The result is a collision of brutality that hits hard from both sides.
New York death metal band carving out a grimy corner of the state's long-running extreme music tradition. Their sound leans into the filth and decay that the genre does best.
Providence, Rhode Island death metal act trading in the kind of fetid, rot-soaked heaviness the name implies. They carry on the New England underground's taste for grime-coated brutality.
Elliottsburg, Pennsylvania outfit specializing in the most physically oppressive end of brutal and slam death metal, where breakdowns feel less like transitions and more like cave-ins. Their music is designed to destroy whatever room it's played in.
San Luis Obispo, California death metal and grindcore band channeling the chaotic energy of both scenes into short, vicious blasts of noise. They favor speed and savagery over any pretense of melody.
Jacksonville, Florida act blending death metal ferocity with the modern churn of deathcore, wringing maximum heaviness from every breakdown and blastbeat. Florida's deep extreme metal roots run through everything they do.
Fayetteville, North Carolina death metal band rooted in the straightforward brutality the genre has always demanded. No frills, no distractions — just the relentless pressure of well-executed extreme metal.
Clovis, California black metal project conjuring cold, misanthropic atmospheres from the unlikely sun-baked terrain of the Central Valley. Their sound leans on the genre's most corrosive and unrelenting traditions.
