Memfis is a progressive/melodic death metal act from Kristinehamn in Värmland, active since 2011. The band channels the ancient city's grandeur into technically ambitious, melodic compositions.
Memnoch is a death/thrash metal band from Meißen, Germany, formed in 2018. Named after Anne Rice's fictional devil, their sound combines death metal's brutality with thrash's velocity from the historic Saxon porcelain city.
Memoria Damnata is a melodic death metal act from the Lower Saxon city of Verden, formed in 2026. The band delivers harmonized extremity with a name meaning 'damned memory.'
Memorial Day is a gothic/doom/death metal band from Kelheim, Germany, active since 2015. Their sound interweaves the dark romanticism of gothic metal with the crushing weight of doom and death metal from the Bavarian underground.
Brooklyn death metal veterans Memorial Gore have been at it since 2013, building a catalog steeped in the Old School traditions that the New York underground has long revered — caveman riffing, sepulchral production, and a relentless forward momentum that references the genre's early 90s peak without feeling like mere nostalgia. New York City's death metal lineage is one of the most storied in the genre, and Memorial Gore fit naturally into that lineage while carving out their own particular brand of brutality. They remain one of Brooklyn's more consistent and uncompromising death metal exports.
Memoriam is a melodic death metal band from Nicosia, Cyprus, active since 2016. Their sound merges the harmonic sensibility of Scandinavian melodic death metal with the intensity of the Mediterranean underground metal scene.
Memories of a Lost Soul is a progressive/melodic death metal band from Reggio di Calabria, Italy, formed in 2016. They deliver powerful melodic death metal with harmonic sweep and emotive songwriting.
A melodic death metal act from Paris, Memoryam formed in 2023 with a sound that marries Scandinavian-style harmonized guitars with the emotional weight of their memorial-themed name. The band adds to the capital's extensive and varied metal community.
