Mastectomy is a brutal death metal band from Poznań, Poland, formed in 2014. They unleash unrelenting brutal death metal fury.
Master Goat play brutal, no-frills death metal out of Campo Grande, trafficking in openly blasphemous imagery as reflected in track titles like Golgota, Cruci-Fiction, and Tormento Infernal. Their approach leans on churning riffs and guttural vocals, drawing from old-school death metal traditions while keeping their sound stripped to the bone.
Masterless is a thrash and death metal band from Surrey, England, formed in 2017. They forge aggressive extreme metal from the London commuter belt.
Mastic Scum are one of Austria's most internationally recognized extreme metal bands, a brutal death metal and grindcore outfit from Salzburg founded in 1992 by Harry Gandler, Man Gandler, and Linga Moser. Their sound is defined by machine-precise rhythms, dissonant riffing, and a vocal onslaught spanning guttural lows to harsh highs, and they have released six studio albums including 'ICON' on MDD Records in 2022. A seventh album is currently in production as of 2026.
Mastication of Brutality Uncontrolled is a technical slam/brutal death metal band from Aschaffenburg, Germany, formed in 2026. They unleash unrelenting brutal death metal fury.
A sludge, doom, and post-metal act from the southern Hungarian university city of Szeged, Boru has been crafting heavy, atmospheric compositions since 2018. The band merges the crushing weight of sludge with the expansive dynamics of post-metal.
Mastroyany is a death metal (early); hardcore/thrash metal (later) band from Ryžoviště, Czech Republic, formed in 2019. They forge aggressive extreme metal at the crossroads of death and thrash.
Masturbator is a death metal band from Franca originally active from 1987 through the mid-1990s, with a 2010 reformation bringing the band back to life. Their 1992 demo 'The Pornographic Terror' documents their early raw death metal approach, and the current lineup — built around vocalist Samuel Death Tormentor, guitarist Sidinei Slaughterman, and bassist Jason Dissector — carries forward the same uncompromising brutality.
