New Jersey's Extinction Ritual deal in blackened death metal, blending the corrosive atmosphere of black metal with death metal's raw, physical intensity since forming in 2024. The Garden State has a long history of feeding extreme metal to the Northeast, and Extinction Ritual are among the newest acts carrying that tradition forward.
Out of Lumberton, North Carolina, Extinguish the Sun craft suffocating black/death metal steeped in the murk of the rural South. Formed in 2016, they trade in corrosive riffs and bleak atmospherics that feel rooted in isolation and malevolence rather than genre exercise.

A second album, III: PULVIS.CINIS.NIHIL, followed in January 2022, with all releases self-managed under a DIY ethos.
