German avant-garde death metal band from Dortmund, formed in 2020. They take death metal into unconventional territory with avant-garde arrangements and experimental compositions.
Death metal outfit from Huddinge, formed in 2019. Their sound draws from the genre's foundational playbook of crushing riffs, blast beats, and growled vocals, executed with the conviction of dedicated extremists.
Roman progressive death metal outfit formed in 2018, drawing heavy inspiration from Italian horror cinema and progressive rock legends like Goblin and King Crimson.

Grindcore and brutal death metal band from London, active since 2016. Their albums A Jigsaw of a Flock of Geese and Leftover Pieces deliver grinding extremity from the London underground.
Beegar was a death metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, active in the late 1990s. The five-piece — featuring dual guitars alongside a rhythm section and vocalist João — released two underground demos: "Otiumcule" (1997) and "Choose Your Vitals" (1999), the latter containing the tracks "The List: Choose Your Vitals" and "Saint Rape." The band operated entirely within São Paulo's underground circuit before dissolving, leaving only demo recordings as their legacy.
Beelzeebubth is a black/death metal project from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, linked to the Brazilian Ritual Records underground network. The project blends war metal aggression with politically-charged lyrical themes — historical atrocities, indigenous spirituality, and environmental destruction rendered through a satanic lens. Their 2020 EP "Sæculum Obscurum (Regressing More Than A Generation)" featured guest vocalists from Acheron (Vincent Crowley), Masacre (Alex Okendo), and Inquisition (Dagon), with Beelzeebubth handling all songwriting and production.
