Cemetery Rot is a death metal band from Bakersfield, California, drawing from the Swedish and Finnish old-school traditions with a heavy reliance on buzzsaw guitar tone, gut-punch riffing, and the morbid energy of early Dismember and Entombed.
Cemetery Shade is a death metal band from Broward County, Florida, emerging from the same South Florida scene that spawned the genre's founding acts, with a mid-paced, thick-riffed sound rooted in the Floridian tradition of early Obituary and Death.
Death metal band from Kraków, active since 2016. Cemetery Whore channels morbid, graveyard-themed death metal from the former Polish royal capital.
Black-death metal band from Loimaa, Finland, emerging in 2025. They channel dark, sepulchral metal from the Finnish countryside.
Cenagal is a thrash metal band from Quilpué whose debut demo, released in August 2018 through Valparaíso distro Los Restos Dela Esfera, announced a sound shaped by classic extreme thrash forebears including early Sepultura, Slayer, Kreator, Pestilence, and Sodom. Their self-described "dirty and streetwise" approach grounds the band firmly in the street-level thrash tradition of the Chilean underground.
Cendiate is a death metal band from New York City, blending technical riff structures with aggressive, downtuned brutality, drawing from both the precision of technical death metal and the raw aggression of the New York underground.
Cenobite is a death/thrash metal band from Plymouth, Massachusetts, named after the Hellraiser mythos and combining the riff-forward speed of thrash with the heavier tonal palette of early death metal in the tradition of Possessed and early Death.
Progressive extreme metal band from Jena, Germany, formed in 2021. They blend black metal, death metal, doom, and progressive elements into an ambitious, genre-defying sound.
Cenotafio is a black/death metal duo from Temuco, formed in 2015 by guitarist/vocalist Daniel Hermosilla and drummer/vocalist Patricio Kusnir, both veterans of the southern Chilean underground through prior projects Odrum and Invehertex. Their debut demo "El Encierro de las Grandes Revelaciones" (2015) established a cavernous, slow-burning sound that carried through their debut full-length "La Fatídica Excrecencia de la Subtierra" (Memento Mori, 2017), the sophomore "Larvae Tedeum Teratos" (Blood Harvest, 2019), and the 2026 third album released on vinyl through Demoniac Productions.
