St. Charles, Missouri's Corax take black metal's foundational elements — cold atmospheres, raw production, and relentless misanthropic energy — and channel them from the Missouri underground with uncompromising fidelity to the genre's spirit. Their work is bleak and unadorned.
Melodic death metal band from Tampere, Finland, formed in 2015. They deliver melodic, dynamic death metal from Finland's third-largest city.
Melodic death metal band from Offenbach, Germany, formed in 2017. They craft melodic yet aggressive death metal from the Rhine-Main metropolitan area.
Corchazo is a death metal and grindcore band from Montevideo, Uruguay, who released their debut demo in May 2025. The six-track self-titled demo spans grinding hardcore punk and deathgrind territory, including tracks such as "Mi Infierno" and a series of numbered "Corchazo" cuts. They are among the newest entries in Montevideo's underground extreme metal scene.
Long Island's Cordectomy deliver brutal death metal from Smithtown with the unrelenting bluntness the genre demands — dense riffing, guttural vocals, and a singular commitment to heaviness over technique. They're a strong entry in New York's ferocious brutal death underground.
Denver's Cordyceps take their name from the parasitic fungus and craft brutal death metal that feels appropriately invasive and overwhelming — a thick, suffocating mass of down-tuned riffs and percussive extremity. Their Colorado-based attack brings high-altitude force to low-end brutality.
Fort Worth death metal outfit delivering punishing riffs and guttural aggression rooted in the Texas underground. Their sound draws on old-school brutality with a modern edge.
Melodic death metal act from Kazan and the nearby tech hub of Innopolis, formed in 2017. Core of Dying Earth delivers apocalyptic melodic death metal from Tatarstan.
Melodic death metal band from Barcelona, Spain, active since 2008. They craft melodic yet aggressive death metal from the Catalan capital with over 15 years of experience.
