Deathwish is a melodic death metal and metalcore band from Opwijk, Flemish Brabant, Belgium, formed in 2016 with members drawn from Dawn of Clarity and the Belgian cult act Endor.

Cincinnati's Debauch has been mining the sepulchral depths of death/doom since 2011, where impossibly slow tempos and cavernous production create a sense of ritualistic despair. Ohio weight pressed into wax.
Out of Murphy, North Carolina, Debauched Putrefaction arrived in 2020 with the genre's most physical form — slam and brutal death metal built for impact, not introspection. Every breakdown is blunt force, every riff a descent into low-end obliteration.
