Named after the infamous radioactive sphere that killed two physicists, Orange County's Demon Core have been delivering lethal death metal since 2018. Their Southern California roots come through in a style that favors technical precision and crushing low-end attack, a worthy product of the region's brutal death tradition.
Demon Days is a death metal band from Poznan, Poland, formed in 2017. The project channels aggressive death metal from the Greater Poland capital.
Demon Lodge plays death/doom metal from the Netherlands, active since 2020 and offering shelter — however sinister — at the crossroads of both genres. Their infernal-hotel imagery lends a narrative dimension to slow, crushing compositions.
Demon Project plays melodic/industrial death metal and metalcore from Novosibirsk, formed in 2022 and fusing electronic textures with extreme metal aggression from Siberia's capital city. Their project-format name signals an experimental, evolving approach to genre-blending.
Demon Shinegami plays symphonic black/death/folk metal from the small town of Valuyki in Belgorod Oblast, active since 2010. Their Japanese death-god reference and multi-genre approach create an ambitious fusion that bridges Eastern mythology with European extreme metal traditions.

Demoniacal is a black/death metal band from London, England, formed in 2023. They deliver demoniacal extreme metal from the British capital.
Featured Dobber Beverly (Insect Warfare, Infernal Dominion, Ingurgitate) on drums and synth. Their debut The Ministers of Lamentation channeled 90s-era Incantation/Immolation darkness with atmospheric keyboard elements, standing apart from the typical brutal slam sound of the TXDM scene. Released on Ossuary Industries and Corpse Gristle.
Demonic Hate is a death metal band from São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil, active since 2018. An independent act, the band deals in raw, underground death metal with lyrical themes centered on death, satanism, and anti-Christianity.
