Deathsaint is a melodic black and death metal band from the Minsk/Novalukoml area of Belarus, active since 2013. Their sound weaves melodic passages through extreme metal frameworks, bridging the aggression of black metal with the harmonic richness of melodic death metal.
Albuquerque's Deathscape arrived in 2021 with melodic death metal built for the vast, sun-bleached landscape of the Southwest, where Gothenburg-influenced hooks meet the open-road ferocity of desert-baked riffs. Wide skies, heavy guitars.
Deathscent is a death metal band from Kirchbichl and Wörgl in Tyrol, Austria, who released a four-track demo in 2010. Their early recordings — including tracks "Dead and Buried" and "Synthetic Paradise" — deliver straightforward, crushing death metal in the underground tradition of the genre.
Deathscythe has been carving melodic death and black metal from Parma since 2009, blending the twin-guitar harmonics of melodic death metal with black metal's tremolo-driven atmosphere. Their reaper-referencing name speaks to the genre's enduring obsession with mortality and darkness.
Deathshine is a black and death metal band from Falkoping, Sweden, formed in 2012. The project merges black metal with death metal from the Vastergotland region.
Chicago's Deathspade hit the ground in 2024 digging up a three-way hybrid of thrash, death, and black metal that sounds as uncompromising as the city's February wind. Raw and immediate, they've come out swinging with no interest in subtlety.
Deathspawn is a death metal band from Slupsk, Poland, formed in 2020. The project channels aggressive death metal from the Pomeranian coast.
Memphis black/death entity Deathspiral of Inherited Suffering carries the South's tradition of darkness into suffocating extreme metal territory, coiling grief and fury into a sound that feels both ancient and seething. Formed in 2023, they've already cultivated an air of grim inevitability.
