Oss, NL · 2020–present · active
Miasmata is a death metal act from Oss in North Brabant, active since 2020. The band channels the pestilent atmosphere suggested by their name into crushing, old-school death metal.
Birmingham, AL, US · 2021–present · active
Birmingham, Alabama's Miasmic Ooze arrived in 2021 with a death metal and grindcore hybrid that wastes no time and takes no prisoners. They traffic in short, brutal blasts that marry grinding velocity to the flesh-peeling heaviness of death metal, a combination that feels right at home in the Deep South's increasingly vicious extreme metal scene.
Treviso, IT · 2024–present · active
A death metal act from Treviso in the Veneto, Miasmic Serum emerged in 2024 with a sound steeped in pestilent, old-school death metal atmosphere. The band channels the toxic imagery of their name into fetid, cavernous compositions.

Lyon, FR · 2013–present · active
Michel Anoia is an avant-garde, technical death metal, and mathcore project from Lyon, France, active since 2013. They push extreme metal into cerebral, mathematically complex territory.
Daytona Beach, FL, US · 2026–present · active
Formed in Daytona Beach, Florida in 2026, Microcephaly storms out of the gate blending death metal brutality with grindcore's punk-fueled contempt for restraint. Florida's death metal lineage casts a long shadow, and Microcephaly plants their flag firmly in that tradition while pushing tempo and aggression to a grinding extreme.
Brighton, GB · 1993–present · active
Microcosm is a technical death metal band from Brighton, England, active since 1993. With over three decades of activity, they deliver technically accomplished death metal.
Pittsburgh, PA, US · 2025–present · active
Pittsburgh's Microgutteral Fluctuation emerged in 2025 fusing death metal's grotesque heaviness with the mid-paced stomp of groove metal, a combination that hits with the force of a wrecking ball rather than a buzz saw. The project's name alone signals a taste for absurdist extremity, and the music backs it up with churning, body-moving riffs wrapped in guttural menace.
Gleisdorf, AT · 2001–present · active
Midgard are a melodic death metal band from Gleisdorf in Styria, Austria, founded in 2001 by a quartet including guitarist Peter Fritz and bassist Jan Zelenka. The band's early sound pursued the Gothenburg melodic death metal aesthetic of In Flames and Soilwork, later incorporating grooves influenced by Bolt Thrower, Benediction, and Hellhammer. They released two studio albums and several demos over a career spanning more than fifteen years.
