Sacramento's Elysia entered the deathcore space in 2024 with the genre's characteristic wall-of-sound ferocity, bridging death metal's technical severity with the breakdown-centric architecture that drives the style.
San Diego's Elysian blend traditional heavy metal with hard rock's melodic accessibility, a combination that keeps the music approachable without sacrificing the weight that makes it worth returning to.
Lancaster, Pennsylvania's Elysion Fields have been working the thrash/groove intersection since 2011 — riffs with real momentum behind them, pushed forward by groove metal's locomotive sense of rhythm.
New Mexico's Emaciated have been working death metal's most uncompromising terrain since 2022 — lean, ugly, and intentional, with a name that telegraphs exactly where the sound lives.
New York's Emaciated strip death metal back to its core ugliness — no melody, no embellishment, just the rot at the genre's center delivered without apology.
Arizona's Emaciated Amalgamation fuse brutal death metal and grindcore into something even more compressed and violent than either genre alone, packing maximum destruction into the shortest possible runtime.
Battle Creek death metal newcomers Emaciated Remains arrived in 2025 with an uncompromising focus on putrefaction and decay. Raw and unapologetic, they carry the old-school spirit of Midwestern death into modern territory.
Charleston's Emaciated Remains crash goregrind sensibilities into brutal death metal, producing something visceral and relentless. Formed in 2025, the band wastes no time establishing a suffocating wall of noise.
Pittsburgh's Emanon have been sharpening their speed and thrash attack since 2005, drawing on classic American aggression and razor-tight riffwork. The band moves with the propulsive urgency of old Bay Area thrash filtered through Steel City grit.
