New York's Vomit Fist have been hammering out short, brutal grindcore assaults since 2014, the kind of band that treats song length as a luxury they simply can't afford. Relentless blastbeats and serrated riffs delivered with zero ornamentation define their output — pure grind economy from a state with a long, vicious tradition of it.

Vomit Forth formed in Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 2018, playing a punishing form of brutal death metal informed by hardcore aggression and gore-themed lyrical content. After a series of self-released demos and the Northeastern Deprivation compilation (2019), the band signed to Century Media Records and released their second album Terrified of God in October 2024, cementing their place in the current wave of brutal death metal.

Formed in Buffalo in 2020, Vomit Hounds drag black and death metal through the industrial grit of upstate New York's underbelly. They strike at the intersection where cold, atmospheric black metal hostility collides with death metal's obsession with rot — a combination that suits Buffalo's long winters and grimmer instincts perfectly.

Montpelier, Virginia's Vomit Stain have been running a death/thrash racket since 2017, threading the savage riffing of old-school thrash through a death metal framework that adds extra density and menace. Their sound is meat-and-potatoes extreme metal executed with the stubborn regional pride of a band that has no interest in trends.

Vomitarte is a grindcore band from Puente Alto, Santiago, Chile, formed around 2018–2019. The band debuted with a rehearsal demo in 2019 and appeared on a three-way split that same year alongside Cannibal Witch and Tra Le Fauci.

Fort Wayne, Indiana's Vomitkvlt have carved out a niche in the black/speed metal underground since 2015, merging the filth and velocity of early black metal with the leather-and-studs urgency of speed metal's punk-adjacent roots. Their material moves fast and mean, with a lo-fi rawness that suits both genres' contempt for polish.

Kensington, California's Vomitorium came together in 2017 with a sound that plants thrash metal squarely in punk's grease-stained soil, the kind of crossover aggression that reminds you both genres were always closer than their gatekeepers wanted to admit. The Bay Area heritage shows — fast, loud, and furious with a working-class attitude that precedes any genre label.

Formed in Las Vegas in 2022, Von Boldt bring heavy metal to a city whose neon spectacle and underlying desert desolation make for an unexpectedly fitting backdrop for the genre. Still early in their trajectory, they're building on traditional heavy metal foundations with the kind of earnest conviction that suggests the city's outsider reputation is actually a point of pride.

Portland, Oregon's Von Doom have been working the metalcore circuit since 2017, drawing on the genre's interplay between crushing breakdowns and melodic tension in a city whose scene has consistently rewarded bands that take the form seriously. They fit naturally into Portland's broad experimental metal community while keeping their aggression properly anchored.
