Verona-based death metal act, active since 2014 delivering HM-2 filth and d-beat fury in the old Swedish tradition. Rooted in the Mediterranean peninsula's diverse metal ecosystem, their approach favors no-frills brutality over technical showmanship.
New Jersey's Engulf deals in suffocating, cavernous death metal — dense walls of distortion and crushing tempos that swallow the listener whole without offering any exit.
Edinburgh, United Kingdom — death metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2012, they deal in percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
Johnson City's Engulfed in Blackness bring Appalachian menace to brutal death metal, combining slamming breakdowns and relentlessly heavy riffwork with the raw ferocity of the Tennessee underground.
Born in Baltimore in 2021, Engulfed in Hate fuses brutal death metal's punishing low end with deathcore's structural violence, channeling the city's aggression into a suffocating sonic barrage.
Phoenix's Engulfer channels the desert's oppressive heat into straight-ahead death metal, delivering relentless riff-driven aggression tempered by the sun-baked Southwest since 2018.
Evansville's Engutturalment Cephaloslamectomy is exactly what the name promises — Indiana slam death metal taken to absurdist extremes, pairing guttural vocal savagery with knuckle-dragging slam breakdowns.
Part of Russia's sprawling, uncompromising metal landscape, this act channels death metal and melodic death metal with a focus on labyrinthine song structures built on chromatic riff mazes. Formed in 2016, based in Irkutsk, the focus remains squarely on devastating rhythmic impact.
Virginia's Enhuman traffics in purposeful, relentless death metal — punishing rhythms and dense riffwork that reject ornamentation in favor of pure, mechanical devastation.
