Portage, Indiana's Mortuus have been at the brutal death/deathcore crossroads since 2005, building a reputation for monstrous low-tuned riffs and guttural excess in a scene more typically associated with Midwestern hardcore.
Mortífera from Campina Grande holds a notable place in Brazilian metal history as one of the country's earliest all-female death metal bands, active from the late 1980s into the early 1990s and documented on Metal Archives with a 1989 rehearsal demo. Their brief existence in the northeast underground left a mark as a rare example of women fronting the uncompromising heaviness of early death metal in Brazil.
Nashville's Moru began as a hardcore-rooted unit before evolving into something considerably heavier — their later work fuses progressive death metal architecture with deathcore aggression, reflecting a band willing to follow their instincts wherever the music leads.
Morvigor is a melodic death/black metal band from Alkmaar, the Netherlands, formed in 2017. They forge extreme metal at the fierce intersection of black and death metal.

Named after the synthetic element with atomic number 115, Albuquerque death metal act Moscovium formed in 2022 and bring a methodical, heavy approach to the genre — an emerging force in New Mexico's underground.
Founded in 2003 in Marchtrenk, Upper Austria, Mosfet developed a self-described "Deathlike Thrash'n'Roll" style fusing melodic death metal, thrash, and rock 'n' roll. Their 2012 album Deathlike Thrash'n'Roll, released on Refused Records, featured guest contributions from Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity) and Tommy Vetterli (Coroner), before the band announced their dissolution in 2016.
Moshaholics is a thrash metal band from Burgos, Spain, formed in 2013 and dedicated to authentic old school thrash. After years of live performances across Spain, they released the LP 'I Hate Society' and the album 'Acid Archives,' channeling the aggressive spirit of classic 1980s thrash.
