Minneapolis death metal outfit formed in 2019, Mudlung digs into the filthy, mid-paced end of the genre with a sound that evokes the city's underground club circuit more than any polished studio ideal.
Formed in Seattle in 2023, Mudslide channels the Pacific Northwest's hard rock heritage into aggressive thrash metal, bridging the gap between driving riff-rock and the sharper attack of the genre's classic era.
A San Francisco death-doom project born in 2025, Mudslinger buries melody beneath layers of grinding low-end, pairing cavernous death metal brutality with the suffocating crawl of doom.
Chicago death metal act MudTomb emerged in 2023 with a sound as uncompromising as its name suggests — dense, putrid, and rooted in the old-school underground ethos that the city's scene has quietly nurtured for decades.
Camas, Washington's Muerte has spent over a decade weaving melodic death metal hooks into metalcore aggression, delivering a sound that carries genuine heaviness without sacrificing songwriting craft.
A Washington state melodic black metal project formed in 2020, Muerteblanca blends icy atmosphere with melodic sensibility, drawing on the Scandinavian second-wave tradition while carving out its own cold, introspective voice.
Las Vegas black/death metal act with roots stretching back to 2007, Muggle Death Camp brings a caustic, no-frills extremity to the desert city's metal underground, blending raw black metal savagery with death metal's structural brutality.
Virginia Beach veterans Mugwart have been grinding out sludge and stoner metal since 2003, building a reputation on thick, fuzzed-out riffs and the kind of slow-burn heaviness that rewards patient listeners.
Portland, Maine's Mugwort is a sludge-doom project that trades in oppressive atmosphere and crawling tempos, reflecting the cold, isolated quality of the Northeast in every slow, crushing note.
