Epic black and death metal band from Liege, Belgium, one of the scene's veterans since 2004. They combine the grandeur of epic metal with the extremity of black and death metal, creating sweeping compositions from the Walloon capital.
Denver's Collapse drags grindcore's blunt-force brevity into death metal territory, a high-velocity collision of blast beats and down-tuned riffs that leaves little room for subtlety or breath.
Melodic death metal band from Vienna, Austria, one of the country's longest-running acts in the genre since 1993. Their extensive catalog includes albums like 'Supernova Overdrive,' 'Doomsday Odyssey,' and 'Human Monster Madness,' spanning over three decades of melodeath.
Death-doom metal band from Gottingen, Germany. They merge the oppressive weight of doom with death metal aggression from the Lower Saxon university city.
Houston's Collapsed Mainframe is a genre-agnostic extremity project drawing from black metal, death metal, doom, and grindcore simultaneously — a chaotic, sprawling sound that fits neatly into Houston's notoriously eclectic underground.
Melodic death metal band from Bad Fussing in Lower Bavaria, Germany, formed in 2014. They blend the melodic sensibility of Scandinavian death metal with powerful aggression.
Hailing from Kalispell, Montana — one of the more isolated metal scenes in the country — Collapsed Vein pursues the slow, suffocating convergence of death doom, where glacial tempos and crushing low-end define every movement.
New York's Collapstomy brews a particularly unpleasant combination of grindcore, death metal, and sludge — ugly by design, the kind of band that seems to take genuine pleasure in musical discomfort.
Black-death metal band from Noisy-le-Sec near Paris, France, formed in 2019. They fuse black metal darkness with death metal aggression.
