Ferocious Dallas grindcore on Relapse Records. Members also in PLF and Noisear.
Newark, Ohio's Kill the Idealist channel melodic death metal with a contemporary edge, balancing aggression and melody without letting either element fully dominate. A recent arrival to the scene, formed in 2020, they show a band still sharpening its identity.
Mean Heavy / Southern Metal from Houston.
Cincinnati death metal act Kill the Messenger have been building their catalog since 2012, delivering the kind of methodical, riff-heavy brutality that defines the Midwest's quieter but persistent extreme metal tradition.
Tacoma's Kill Without Consequence emerged in 2022 at the crossroads of death metal and hardcore, trading melody for pressure — short, violent songs designed to collapse the distance between stage and crowd.
Seabrook, New Hampshire's Killbeast cast a wide net across melodic death, black, and thrash metal, arriving at a sound that's aggressive without being rigid. Active since 2010, they're one of New England's more eclectic extreme metal outfits.
Kenosha, Wisconsin's Killdozer have been bulldozing through thrash metal since 1984, making them one of the genre's more weathered American survivors. Decades of experience show in the confident, no-nonsense weight of their approach.
Detroit's Killdozer have been dealing in death metal since 1984, forged in the same post-industrial crucible that's shaped so much of the city's heavier music. Raw, unpolished, and rooted in the Motor City's long tradition of punishing sound.
A brand-new entry from Tempe formed in 2024, Killed by a Yeti play groove metal with a rock edge — heavy enough to satisfy but accessible enough to pull in a broader crowd. The name sets the tone: absurd, hard-hitting, and not taking itself too seriously.
