A long-running death metal act out of Los Angeles, Entety has spent over a decade honing a sound that draws on the California underground — bludgeoning riffs delivered with a workmanlike ferocity that keeps the focus squarely on the music. Active since 2012.
Blackened death metal act from the Kunzelsau/Ohringen area of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, later based in Heilbronn, active since 2017. Their German name, meaning "de-spirited," captures the soul-stripping ferocity of their blackened death metal.
Greenville, South Carolina's Enthean operates at the intersection of technical death and black metal, crafting dense, labyrinthine compositions that demand repeated listening to fully unpack. Their cerebral approach sets them apart from the straightforward brutality of regional peers.
Filthy Black Metal out of Texas.
Pittsburgh's Entheogen laces symphonic grandeur into deathcore and death metal, building an overpowering wall of sound that juxtaposes orchestral sweep with modern extremity. Formed in 2017, they're one of the more ambitious acts in the city's underground.
Santa Cruz's Entheos emerged in 2015 as one of progressive deathcore's more technically accomplished acts, blending jazz-influenced rhythmic complexity with modern extremity and the kind of compositional sophistication that earns them fans in multiple metal camps.
Waukegan, Illinois's Enthrall has been grinding out death metal since 1993, accumulating three decades of experience that show in a sound which is efficient, undecorated, and thoroughly seasoned. Longevity in this genre is its own kind of credibility.
Akron's Enthrall has carried the torch for Ohio death metal since 1993, delivering the blunt-force punishment that rust belt underground scenes tend to produce — workmanlike, heavy, and uninterested in trends. Decades in without losing momentum.
Death metal band from Geneva, Switzerland, channeling the thrill of being consumed by sonic devastation since 2018. Their name captures the essence of their sound: total submission to the chaos and fury of death metal.
