Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Modern Lobotomy deal in brutal death metal built for maximum blunt force, with early releases like the Protohuman EP signaling a focus on primitive, punishing heaviness.

A brutal death metal and grindcore act from Milan, Modus Delicti has been delivering punishing extremity since 2015. The band's Latin legal term name, meaning 'manner of the crime,' matches their forensic approach to sonic brutality.
Davis, California's Mofsed traffic in blunt, unadorned death metal, delivering the kind of straightforward extremity that college towns occasionally produce when students decide brutality outweighs subtlety. Formed in 2019, they've been building their catalog within the fertile Northern California underground.
An avant-garde and progressive death metal band from Sofia, Bulgaria, rooted in the earlier project ITSI, where guitarist and chief composer Tony and harsh vocalist Milko originally collaborated. Their album 'Where Do You Come From' showcases their approach of layering extreme drumming and technical guitars against melodic female vocals and harsh male vocals over atmospheric electronic textures, with themes centered on introspection, fear, and enlightenment.
A deathcore act from the French Riviera city of Cannes, Moghan-Ra delivers crushing breakdowns far from the red carpet glamour the city is known for. Active since 2016, the band provides a heavy counterpoint to the Côte d'Azur's reputation for luxury.
