Chicago, IL, US · 2010–present · active
Chicago brutal death metal veterans Deaden have been flattening eardrums since 2010 with relentless, technically precise ugliness rooted deep in the city's underground. Few acts in the midwest brutal death scene match their longevity or their ferocity.
FI · 2017–present · active
Deadest plays black/death metal from Finland, active since 2017 and pushing both genres to their most extreme conclusions — as their superlative name implies.

Augsburg, DE · 2018–present · active
Deadfreight of Soul is an Augsburg-based act blending melodic death metal with deathcore elements, pairing Gothenburg-inspired guitar harmonies with modern breakdowns and vocal versatility.

OH, US · 2018–present · active
Ohio's Deadfuck deliver metalcore with the blunt, unpretentious energy of the Midwest's DIY circuit, formed in 2018 and not especially interested in impressing anyone who isn't already in the pit. The name alone tells you everything about their philosophy.
