Exploring the depths of death metal and deathcore, this Italian outfit from Milan has been refining their craft since 2022. Their sound hinges on Florida-school brutality with modern precision, delivered with relentless commitment.
Death metal, power metal, and progressive metal band from Tournan-en-Brie near Paris, France active since 2013. They blend progressive ambition with extreme metal intensity from the Ile-de-France region.
San Jose's Ethnocide have been unleashing caustic thrash-death metal since 2017, drawing from both the Bay Area's storied thrash heritage and the relentless brutality of death metal. Their music hits with the blunt force of a sledgehammer and the velocity of a freight train.
Death metal and melodic death metal band from Mulhouse/Colmar in Alsace, France active since 2013. They deliver fierce melodic death metal from the Upper Rhine plain.
Raleigh's Etiolated have been draining the color from death metal since 2015, infusing it with the slow grief of doom to produce a death-doom sound that is genuinely desolate. Named for the pale withering of plants denied light, the band lives up to their moniker.
Crossover thrash and death metal band from Briones in La Rioja, Spain, active since 2011. They blast fierce crossover extremity from one of Spain's smallest wine-producing towns.
When Eton Flesh emerged in 2021 from Derby, they brought with them a sound rooted in death metal — all percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
Death, melodic death, and power metal duo from Leon, Spain featuring Miguel Angel de la Villa on guitar and Javier Gonzalez on bass and vocals. Their 2022 album The Lockdown showcases their evolution from the 2020 EP Tall Tales into more mature, technical compositions.
Misano Adriatico (Rimini), Italy — death metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2009, they deal in punishing grooves interlocked with frenzied tremolo passages. Primal ferocity drives every note of their catalog.
