Longview death/thrash act Decimation draws from the dense Pacific Northwest timber country a sound that feels appropriately crushing and blunt. Since 2007, they've operated within Washington's underrated extreme metal underground with grim determination.
Manhattan, Kansas death metal act Decimation channels the vast, flat isolation of the Great Plains into relentless, rolling brutality. A fixture of the Kansas underground since 2007, they prove there's nowhere too remote for serious extremity.
Cleveland has one of America's most storied metal histories, and Decimation have been adding their chapter since 2007 with pit-ready thrash metal forged in the Rust Belt tradition. Hard-nosed and built for live destruction.

Denver's Decimation fuses thrash and death metal into high-altitude aggression, cutting through the Mile High City's increasingly diverse metal landscape with old-school directness. Active since 2007, they're a reliable pillar of Colorado's underground.
Kenosha death metal act Decimation punches up from a city that sits between two of the Midwest's major metal markets — Milwaukee and Chicago — absorbing the best of both with a sound that's pure, unadorned brutality. Formed in 2007, they've since been quietly grinding through Wisconsin's underground.
Baldwin Park speed metal act Decimation presses the accelerator and doesn't let up — tight, fast, and rooted in the classic LA-area metal tradition that made Southern California's suburbs a breeding ground for velocity. Formed in 2007 in the San Gabriel Valley.
West Bloomfield death metal act Decimator emerged in 2024 with a sound shaped by Michigan's long tradition of underground extremity. The Detroit-area suburbs have produced some of the Midwest's finest death metal, and this newcomer shows every sign of continuing that lineage.
