Manfrea is a blackened death metal (early); metalcore (later) band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2016. They forge extreme metal at the fierce intersection of black and death metal.
Long Island's Mangled have been punishing listeners with brutal death metal since 2006, carrying on the New York area's tradition of uncompromising extremity without apology. Dense, technical, and brutally efficient.
A death metal act from Pforzheim in Baden-Württemberg, Mangled Torsos has been delivering grotesque extremity since 2022. The band channels the visceral imagery of their name into brutal, old-school death metal.
Connecticut's Maniacal Violator have been carving out a niche in the black/death underground since 2016, blending the cold hostility of black metal with death metal's brute physicality. Raw, violent, and deliberately unpolished.

Manifest is a death metal band from Sursee, Switzerland, formed in 2008 that trades in the crushing low-end brutality and technical precision characteristic of the Swiss death metal underground. Their sound channels relentless aggression through tightly constructed compositions built on blast beats and guttural vocals.
