Dripping

Clifton, US · 2021–present · active
Based out of Clifton and active since 2021, Dripping operate at the extreme outer edge of slam and brutal death metal, injecting experimental sensibilities into an already punishing framework. The result is something deliberately disorienting — dense slabs of down-tuned brutality interrupted by moments of calculated sonic wrongness that keep listeners off balance.

Droid Killer

NC, US · 2014–present · active
North Carolina's Droid Killer have been fusing death and doom metal since 2014, creating music that moves with the grinding inevitability of heavy machinery. The death/doom combination they work in lends itself to a particular kind of dread — too slow to thrash, too savage to drift, and fully committed to both extremes at once.

Drood

Birmingham, AL, US · 2017–present · active
Out of Birmingham, Alabama — a city with its own long history of heavy music — Drood have been crafting death/doom metal since 2017 that leans into the slower, more mournful qualities of the form. Their sound carries the oppressive atmosphere that Birmingham's industrial heritage seems to lend to music, with death metal's brutality filtered through doom's bottomless patience.

Dropkik

Luling, LA, US · 2015–present · active
Louisiana's Dropkik hail from the small town of Luling and have been delivering blunt-force death metal since 2015. There's nothing decorative about their approach — it's direct, violent, and rooted in a blue-collar understanding of what death metal is supposed to accomplish.

Drown

Portland, OR, US · 2019–present · active
Portland, Oregon's Drown emerged in 2019 with funeral doom metal that takes its name and its mandate seriously — music designed to feel like submersion, all glacially slow tempos, cavernous low-end, and a suffocating emotional weight that discourages any notion of a quick listen. In a city with a rich experimental metal culture, they occupy the most extreme edge of slowness.
