Brutal death metal band from La Boutigniere, France formed in 2016. They deliver punishing, guttural brutality from rural western France.
Seattle's Ectopic Pregnancy, formed in 2024, weaponize brutal death metal and goregrind in the tradition of Pacific Northwest extremity — confrontational, visceral, and unapologetically ugly.
Brooklyn's Edenic Past bring an experimental edge to brutal death metal, formed in 2020 with a technical framework that pushes against the subgenre's more rigid conventions.
New Jersey's Edifice, active since 2015, stacks brutal death metal's punishing low end against progressive architecture and deathcore breakdown dynamics, creating something towering and technically demanding. The name fits: every song feels like a structure built to withstand enormous pressure.
Brutal death metal and hardcore act from the Krupka/Teplice area of northern Czech Republic, delivering punishing extremity since 2009. Their Spanish-language name reflects global influences channeled through a local Bohemian lens.
Verona-based brutal death metal, death metal, and grindcore act, active since 2017 delivering technically precise fretwork wrapped in visceral brutality. Rooted in the Mediterranean peninsula's diverse metal ecosystem, their recordings carry the stench of early 90s death metal worship.
Albuquerque's Egregious has been thrashing hard since 2014, representing New Mexico's stubborn commitment to classic thrash metal in a decade when few cared to look to the Southwest for the genre.
Dayton, Ohio's Ejaculating Rektal Squid Pussy commits fully to the brutality of goregrind and brutal death metal, a project formed in 2022 with no pretense toward subtlety. Cavernous gurgles, blast beats, and maximum grotesquerie.
Virginia's Elphael arrived in 2025 swinging hard at slam and brutal death metal's most extreme registers — bowel-shaking breakdowns, guttural vocals, and the kind of crushing low-end that needs proper subwoofers to fully appreciate.
