El Cajon's Enthrallment has been fusing death metal and hardcore since 1999, channeling the San Diego underground's pit-ready intensity into a hybrid that hits with the pummeling directness of both genres and the compromise of neither.
Cambridge-based death metal and melodic death metal act, active since 2013 delivering HM-2 filth and d-beat fury in the old Swedish tradition. Rooted in Britain's endlessly regenerating metal lineage, their approach favors no-frills brutality over technical showmanship.
When Enthralment emerged in 2010 from Rome, they brought with them a sound rooted in death metal — all punishing grooves interlocked with frenzied tremolo passages. Primal ferocity drives every note of their catalog.
Symphonic melodic death metal band from Helsinki, Finland active since 2016, with orchestral arrangements by Mika Lumijarvi. Their EP Since Time Immemorial (2019) was mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios.
Death metal and melodic death metal band from Kerava, Finland active since 2016. They deliver aggressive, melodically rich extreme metal from the greater Helsinki area.
Davis, California's Enthroned has been a fixture of Northern California death metal since 1995, building a career on decades of consistent output that prioritizes heaviness and craft over trend-chasing. A quiet pillar of the West Coast underground.
Death metal and gothic metal band from Espoo, Finland active since 2007. They blend the brutality of death metal with gothic atmospherics from the Helsinki region.
Streetsboro, Ohio's Entity of Extinction weaponizes technical death metal and grindcore together, pushing both toward their logical extremes — the precision of the former sharpened by the speed and fury of the latter. Active since 2014 and unrelenting throughout.
Seattle's Entmoot — named after the deliberate gathering of Tolkien's Ents — moves with measured, crushing intention through stoner and sludge metal, building monolithic riffs that reward patience. A young band with an ancient weight to their sound.
