Morbid Panzer is a thrash and black metal band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2015. Their releases including Demo MMXV and the Only the Total Death EP deliver blackened thrash metal aggression with militant intensity.
Morbid Pest is a black metal project from Ravenna, the city of Byzantine mosaics, active since 2009. The project channels plague imagery and pestilent atmosphere into raw, aggressive black metal.
Springfield, Missouri thrash metal band that has been operating since 2017, bringing hard-hitting, riff-driven thrash to the Missouri underground. Their straightforward thrash approach in a city not typically associated with the genre makes them a notable outlier in the Midwest metal scene.
Morbid Rituals is a black and doom metal project from Germany, formed in 2022, operating under the creed "only death is real." They channel first-wave black metal and doom traditions into crushing, primitive extremity.
Maryland black/speed metal act launched in 2023, fusing the rawness and malevolence of black metal with the full-throttle propulsion of speed metal. A young project out of Maryland's relatively active underground, they lean into the aggressive hybrid style championed by early bands like Venom and Midnight.
Bellefonte, Pennsylvania death metal band formed in 2020, emerging from central Pennsylvania's small but dedicated extreme metal community. Their name and origin point to an act interested in ritual-heavy, old-school death metal aesthetics well removed from urban metal hubs.
Morbid Sorcery is a black metal act from Sarajevo, active since 2018. The band delivers dark, occult-themed black metal from the Bosnian capital, channeling the city's complex history into aggressive compositions.
Brooklyn-based blackened death metal band formed in 2021, forging the kind of dense, suffocating sound that feels at home in New York City's densely packed extreme metal underground. They marry black metal's atmosphere and hostility with death metal's rhythmic brutality.
Hudson County, New Jersey extreme metal band founded in 2016 that has evolved considerably over its existence — starting in death metal and grindcore territory before shifting toward black metal, making them one of the more stylistically restless acts in the New Jersey underground.
