Hemorragia is a one-man brutal death metal project from Chiloé, in the Los Lagos region of Chile, run solely by Marco Díaz. The project released its debut demo followed by the album "Stench of Obliteration" in December 2025, a release Díaz described as a significant step up in production quality from his initial recordings.
Brooklyn's Hemzeodysnexia arrived in 2022 with a mouthful of a name and a brutal death metal sound to match — dense, merciless, and technically ferocious, staking out their corner of New York's underground with immediate ferocity.
London-based stoner doom metal project active since 2022. Their botanical name suits organic, slow-growing compositions that channel the weight of doom through the British capital's underground.
Fort Worth's Herniated have been delivering brutal death metal since 2016 with the industrial-grade aggression you'd expect from Texas's hard-working metal underground. Dense, punishing, and unapologetically extreme.
Michigan's Hideous CHUD take the foundational elements of brutal death and grindcore and run them through an experimental blender, producing results that are as unpredictable as they are punishing. The Roseville outfit seem genuinely uninterested in doing what's expected of them.
Rome's Hideous Divinity formed in 2007 and have built a discography of concept albums within the technical and brutal death metal tradition, signing to Century Media Records after their 2012 debut. Each release, including Adveniens (2017), Simulacrum (2019), and Unextinct (2024), is constructed around a distinct conceptual framework — the latter drawing from Bram Stoker's Dracula — executed through a dense, meticulously arranged approach to death metal that prioritizes compositional detail over straightforward aggression. They rank among the most internationally recognized acts in Italian extreme metal.
Brutal death metal and grindcore act from Brno, Czech Republic, active since 2016. Their merciless blend of slam-heavy brutality and grindcore velocity makes for a devastating listening experience.
Spawned in Ferrara's underground, this brutal death metal outfit channels italian ferocity since 2001. Drawing on classic blueprints, they deliver visceral extremity with conviction.
Brutal death metal/grindcore band from Barcelona, Spain, active since 2012. Their merciless blend of slam-heavy brutality and grindcore velocity erupts from the Catalan extreme underground.
