Worcester's answer to the grind underground, this Massachusetts incarnation of Eaten has been active since 2014 playing the same blunt, high-velocity style that defined the genre's DIY roots.
Baltimore's Eaten Alive has been at it since 2016, playing straight-ahead death metal in a city that takes its extreme music seriously — no frills, just bone-deep heaviness.
Jacksonville, North Carolina's Eater of Worlds landed in the death/thrash crossroads when they formed in 2020, channeling military-town aggression into riff-heavy, skull-caving metal.
Santa Barbara, California's Eating Fear blends black and death metal into a coastal darkness, active since 2012 and operating outside the typical scenes that tend to define both genres.
Tampa's Eating Infinity fuses groove metal's midtempo swagger with death metal's ferocity — a combination that makes sense coming from a city with Florida death metal in its civic DNA.
Portland, Maine's Eave works in the post-black metal space where bleakness becomes almost meditative — depressive and expansive in equal measure, drawing from the cold landscape the state does not lack for.
A 2024-formed Pennsylvania black metal project, Eavernal operates with the rawness and isolation that characterizes much of the American underground, still early but already committed to the form's bleakest registers.
Out of Shenandoah, New York, Eayondig is a brand-new black metal act formed in 2024 whose name is as unusual as their chosen corner of the Hudson Valley — raw, rural, and rooted in the underground.
Kansas City thrashers EALΩ (stylized with Greek letters) have been bringing aggressive, riff-forward thrash metal to the Midwest since 2013, a band whose name stands out in a sea of conventional monikers.
