Out of California's high-desert community of Yucca Valley, Emulsified Flesh have been splicing grindcore's manic velocity to death metal's rotting heaviness since 2012.
Death/thrash metal and grindcore hybrid from Torrelavega in Cantabria, Spain, delivering chaotic three-genre extremity since 2003. Their two-decade career of genre-blending aggression makes them a veteran force in the Spanish underground.
Straddling the line between death metal and groove metal, this British act fuses technically precise fretwork wrapped in visceral brutality into a cohesive whole. They've been at it since 2011, and their recordings carry the stench of early 90s death metal worship.
Emuthry is a black/death metal band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2023. The four-piece, comprising Diguinho Ferreira on vocals and guitar, Davi Caruccio on guitar, Leo Heldwein on bass, and Bia Martins on drums, released recordings including the demo Rehearsal Tapes and tracks Decease of Humanity and The Ruin of The Lord before going on hold.
Aurora, Illinois outfit En Masse arrived in 2020 with a collision of thrash, death metal, and hardcore that hits with the frantic urgency of a pit catching fire mid-set.
Enabler is a Milwaukee, Wisconsin metallic hardcore band formed in 2009, led by guitarist and songwriter Jeff Lohrber. The band fuses thrash, death metal, punk, and hardcore into a confrontational, emotionally raw sound that earned them placement on Southern Lord Records for their breakthrough album All Hail the Void (2012). A second full-length, La Fin Absolue Du Monde (2014), followed on Creator Destructor/Earsplit Compound, with the band releasing material across multiple labels and formats.
Albany's Enantiodrome take their name from a Jungian concept of reversal, and their progressive death metal follows suit — complex, contradictory, and deliberately unsettled since 2016.
Technical death metal band from Almada south of Lisbon, Portugal active since 2016. Their sound channels precise, complex death metal from the Setúbal district across the Tagus from the Portuguese capital.
Grindcore act from Valencia, Spain formed in 2010, featuring members of Overnoise and other local bands. Their releases include the 2021 album Satan 1 Dios 0, delivering aggressive grindcore in the vein of Rotten Sound, Brutal Truth, and Napalm Death.
