Melodic death/thrash/groove metal band from Hyvinkaa in southern Finland, formed in 2018 and blending three styles into a versatile, heavy sound. Their multi-genre approach draws from the full spectrum of Finnish melodic metal.
Cape Coral, Florida's Kick Em Ugly fuse death metal ferocity with the swaggering grit of Southern metal, arriving at something mean-spirited and distinctly American. Their music carries a backwoods heaviness that doesn't apologize for itself.
Melodic death metal band from Hamina on Finland's southeastern coast, active since 2012 and delivering over a decade of melodically rich aggression. Their sound continues the rich Finnish melodeath tradition.
Blackened death metal/death'n'roll/punk band from Hankasalmi in central Finland, active since 2005 and blending three raw styles across two decades. Their Finnish name meaning "moonshine" captures the illicit, unrefined energy of their genre-crossing approach.
Phoenix's Kilk operate at the intersection of melodic death metal and straight-ahead brutality, shaping riff-driven songs with enough melodic hooks to stick. Since 2018, they've been one of the more consistent presences in Arizona's heavy underground.
Melodic death metal and metalcore band from Reading, England, with roots stretching back to 1998, making them one of the longer-running acts in the UK's melodic extreme metal scene. Their sound bridges the Gothenburg melodic death metal tradition with metalcore's dynamic song structures.
Tempe's Kill Command have been grinding out death-thrash since 2017, pairing mechanized riff construction with the relentless momentum of Arizona's desert-hardened metal scene. Tight, punishing, and built to destroy live.
A product of the Netherlands' punishingly heavy metal scene, this Limburg-based death metal and thrash metal act channels percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Active since 2022, low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
Brutal death metal featuring founding members of Devourment, including vocalist Mike Majewski and guitarist Brian Wynn. Signed to Comatose Music.
