Resection is a brutal death metal band from Bohmstedt in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, formed in 2019. The band delivers extreme brutality from one of the most remote and rural corners of northern Germany.
Boston's Respiratory Secretion arrived in 2024 with the kind of medical-horror aesthetics and surgical brutality that define the most extreme end of brutal death metal. Still fresh, they've positioned themselves squarely in the lineage of pathological gore-obsessed BDM bands that prioritize density and ferocity over accessibility. A vile and promising debut into one of metal's most uncompromising subgenres.
Richmond, Virginia's Restrictor Plate fuse brutal death metal with hardcore in a way that echoes the city's long tradition of crossing heavy music subgenres with confrontational directness. Formed in 2024, they're among the newest entries in Richmond's storied scene, bringing a modern take on the powerviolence-adjacent death metal hybrid. Short, violent, and built for the pit.

Los Angeles' Retch have been trafficking in brutal death metal and goregrind since 2012, occupying the most deliberately repulsive corner of extreme metal's spectrum with conviction and volume. Their roots go back to the earliest goregrind experiments, and their Los Angeles home gives them access to one of the country's most active extreme metal circuits. Uncompromising in the truest sense.
Brutal death metal band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2024. Their Latin name, meaning 'king of sacred rites,' accompanies punishing brutality from the Russian capital.
Brutal death metal and deathcore band from Bridgwater, Somerset, active since 2013. Their approach combines slam brutality with deathcore's devastating breakdowns.
