Death Feast plays black/death/thrash metal from Lisbon, active since 2018 and setting a banquet table of extreme metal drawn from three of the genre's most aggressive branches. Their gluttonous name suits a sound that devours everything in its path.

Death Has Gone is a black metal project from the Trentino-Alto Adige/South Tyrol region of Italy, formed in 2016. With bilingual English-Russian titling on releases like 'sulphuris et arsenium,' the project blends avant-garde and experimental elements into its black metal framework.
Brooklyn's Death Icon fuse death and black metal within the borough's fierce underground, combining death metal's brute force with black metal's tremolo-heavy atmosphere since 2017. New York City's density and darkness seep into every passage of their recorded material.
Lewiston, Idaho's Death Illuminate have been practicing an isolated, self-sufficient strain of black metal since 2017, far removed from coastal scene politics and all the better for it. Their music carries the austere quality of their Pacific Northwest surroundings.
