Springfield, Virginia death metal and deathcore project. The Beltway's contribution to grinding extremity.
Dix Hills, Long Island death metal project. Pure disgust distilled into heavy music from the New York suburbs.
Brutal death metal band from São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, founded by brothers Rangel and Fernando Arroyo in 1997. Drawing on Deicide, Morbid Angel, and Krisiun as key influences, Abhorrence built their sound around blasting double-kick percussion, speed-driven guitar riffs, and demonic vocal delivery, releasing the full-length Evoking the Abomination in 2000 on Evil Vengeance/Listenable Records and the late-period Obliteration in 2008.
New Castle, Pennsylvania death metal and deathcore project. The redundantly revolting name doubles down on disgust from the western PA steel country.
Abhorrent Cabaret are a goregrind and brutal death metal band from Prague, Czech Republic, formed in 2017 and signed to Bizarre Leprous Production. Their 2020 album "Stories of Undeniable Abhorrence" — featuring members with backgrounds in D.E.O.A.G. and Pisstolero — delivers bulldozing slow-slime goregrind built on a catalog of grotesque conceptual imagery.
Abhorrent Decimation delivers death metal from London since 2015, their name promising the thorough destruction they inflict through punishing compositions. The project contributes to the English capital's ever-expanding extreme metal landscape.
Abhorrent Execration delivers death metal from Bordeaux since 2023, adding fresh brutality to the Gironde capital's growing extreme metal community. Their name promises exactly the kind of revulsion and violence their sound delivers.
Abhorrent Funeral merges death and doom metal with punk from Poznań since 2016. Their funeral-horror name drives compositions that combine extreme metal's weight with punk's raw directness from western Poland's major city.
Abhorrent Ritual merges melodic death and groove metal with metalcore from Oulu since 2012. From Finland's northernmost major city near the Arctic Circle, they blend multiple aggressive styles into a cohesive assault.
