Fierce Groove Metal / Metalcore from Austin.
Fort Myers' Death of Cain deal in raw, primitive black metal stripped down to its most primitive and hateful essentials. Emerging in 2025, they bring Florida's underground a new voice dripping with frost and spite.
Atlanta's Death of Kings have been sharpening the blade of heavy and thrash metal since 2010, channeling classic Southern aggression through a no-frills, riff-first mentality. They play it heavy, direct, and loud.
Denver's Death of Self grind with relentless hostility, compressing maximum chaos into minimum runtime in the true grindcore tradition. Since 2016, they've been one of Colorado's most ferocious blasts of controlled noise.
Pittsburgh's Death of the Family combine death and thrash metal into a visceral, streetwise assault that reflects the Steel City's hard-edged heritage. Formed in 2021, they're newcomers with old-school brutality in their blood.
Fort Wayne's Death on Fire meld melodic hooks with thrash metal's kinetic drive and death metal's menace, creating a sound that burns on multiple fronts simultaneously. Since 2019 they've been one of Indiana's most combustible live acts.
Elmwood Park's Death Pact thrash with a New Jersey-bred chip on their shoulder — tight, aggressive, and rooted in the old-school tradition that never died in the Garden State underground. A serious pact forged in 2022.
Falls Church's Death Penalty have been handing down thrash metal verdicts since 2014, favoring tight riffing and velocity over any modern compromise. A relentless Northern Virginia outfit with no interest in leniency.
Sacramento's Death Penalty drag sludge metal through the Central Valley heat — thick, slow, and coated in grime that sticks to the ribs. Formed in 2014, they trade the region's agricultural bleakness for crushing low-end brutality.
Enter the Inferno
