Death Epiphany is a black and death metal band from Sweden, formed in 2021. The project delivers dark extreme metal.
Knoxville, Tennessee's Death Etiquette bring technical death metal's surgical precision to a Southern rock city that rarely produces extreme metal of this caliber. Since 2022 the band has developed a complex, intricate approach where riff arrangements feel more like puzzles than conventional song structures.
Death Feast plays black/death/thrash metal from Lisbon, active since 2018 and setting a banquet table of extreme metal drawn from three of the genre's most aggressive branches. Their gluttonous name suits a sound that devours everything in its path.
Dayton, Ohio's Death Fetish have been serving up brutal death metal punishment since 2020, feeding the Midwest underground with punishing slams and guttural vocals. Their approach is unflinching — purely about impact and physicality.
Crushing Death Metal from Austin.
Los Angeles thrash outfit Death Force have been tearing through the sprawling SoCal metal scene since 2018, channeling the aggression of Bay Area forebears into a modern context. Fast picking, barked vocals, and unapologetically retro riff construction define their sound.
Death from Above is a death metal band from Bayonne, France, formed in 2021. They rain death metal from the Basque coast.
Death Fury is a death and thrash metal band from Ostend, Belgium, formed in 2022 and currently active as an independent act. The coastal city's relatively sparse metal scene provides the backdrop for a project intent on delivering uncompromising extreme metal in the classic European tradition.
Death Has Spoken is a death and doom metal band from Bialystok, Poland, formed in 2017. The project merges death metal's aggression with doom metal's crushing weight from eastern Poland.
