Gothenburg, Sweden's Miasmal formed in 2007 with the aim of crafting song-oriented death metal built on a groove-driven, punk-infused foundation inspired by Discharge. Signed to Century Media Records, the band released three full-lengths — Miasmal (2011), Cursed Redeemer (2014), and Tides of Omniscience (2016) — each rooted in the classic Swedish death metal sound while incorporating a raw, energetic punk backbone.
Miasmal Sabbath is a death metal and crust punk band from Thessaloniki, Greece, formed in 2016. They fuse death metal's brutality with crust punk's raw urgency.
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, Alabama's Miasmic Ooze arrived in 2021 with a death metal and grindcore hybrid that wastes no time and takes no prisoners.

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.
