Kansas City, Missouri's Exogiant have been in the death metal trenches since 2016, bringing a no-nonsense approach to the genre that favors brutality and directness over technical showmanship. Their position in the American heartland places them outside the coastal scenes, and their music carries that independent, self-reliant quality.
Death metal and melodic death metal band from Thessaloniki, Greece formed in 2019. They deliver aggressive melodic death metal from northern Greece.
Death/thrash metal band from Madrid, Spain active since 2012. They deliver fierce, extreme metal from the heart of the Spanish capital.
Death metal act from Flonheim in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, freshly formed in 2025. Their name evokes the casting out of demons, driving a sound built on death metal's most aggressive and ritualistic tendencies.
When Exorcist emerged in 2021 from Warsaw, they brought with them a sound rooted in death metal and thrash metal — all punishing grooves interlocked with frenzied tremolo passages. Primal ferocity drives every note of their catalog.
Death/thrash metal band from Athens, Greece active since 2014. They bring fierce extreme metal from the Greek capital.
Death metal act from Osnabruck in Lower Saxony, Germany, delivering crushing extremity since 2008. Their numerically suffixed name suggests a scientific, methodical approach to death metal's punishing framework.
Seymour, Tennessee's Exorency are a young death metal force formed in 2024, building their sound far from the major metropolitan scenes and bringing a focused, unadorned approach to the genre's fundamentals. East Tennessee provides an unlikely but fitting origin for music this blunt and uncompromising.
