Coffinfeeder is a death metal band from Sabará, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The band has recorded material including the track "Enslaved by Ignorance" and maintains an active presence in the Brazilian underground death metal scene. They operate independently and have a Bandcamp page under the handle coffinfeeder666.
Coffins formed in Tokyo, Japan in 1996, anchoring their sound in the lumbering intersection of doom metal and death metal, with heavily downtuned guitars, slow tempos, and gore-obsessed lyrical themes. After a period of demos and splits, the band signed to Razorback Records and released their debut studio album Mortuary in Darkness in 2005, following it with The Other Side of Blasphemy (2006) and Buried Death (2008) on 20 Buck Spin. They have maintained a prolific release schedule across over twenty split releases alongside four full-lengths.
Blackened death metal act from Warsaw, formed in 2019. Coffinwood crafts dark, morbid extreme metal from the Polish capital.

Black-death metal band from London, formed in 2019. They fuse black metal darkness with death metal aggression from the English capital.
Brutal death metal and deathcore band from Essen, Germany, formed in 2024. They bring fresh, punishing extremity to the Ruhr Valley underground.
New York's Cognitive Collapse push technical death metal into experimental territory, warping song structures and tonality into something disorienting and deeply unsettling.
Minneapolis's Cognitive Dissonance ride a thrash and grindcore collision course — tightly wound songs explode with short-fuse aggression and a political edge that has defined their underground run.
Melodic death metal and deathcore band from Leeds, England, active since 2013. They blend melodic sensibilities with extreme metal dynamics from Yorkshire.
