Oklahoma City's Monument started out in power metal territory before shifting into a more aggressive death/thrash hybrid, reflecting the kind of restless evolution that has defined the band across their existence since 2021.
Monument of Misanthropy are a technical brutal death metal band from Vienna, Austria, founded in 2010 by scene veteran George 'Misanthrope' Wilfinger and currently signed to Transcending Obscurity Records. The band has built a reputation for concept albums rooted in true-crime subject matter: 'Unterweger' explores the crimes of Austrian serial killer Jack Unterweger, while 'Vile Postmortem Irrumatio' (2024) centers on Ed Kemper. Their approach combines extreme brutality with meticulous technical construction.
Denver's Monumental Discharge formed in 2020 and specialize in slam and brutal death metal, delivering the genre's characteristically downtuned, bowel-shaking low end and guttural vocals against a backdrop of Mile High city extremity.
Monumental Torment is a technical/brutal death metal band from Tver, Russia, formed in 2011. They unleash unrelenting brutal death metal fury.
Monumentomb is a death metal act from the Kent town of Maidstone, active since 2014. The band delivers crushing death metal with a monumental, tomb-like atmosphere suggested by their portmanteau name.
Mood:Doom is a doom and death metal band from Finland, formed in 2011. They craft crushing doom-death compositions steeped in melancholy and oppressive heaviness.
Mookerdam is a Los Angeles band dragging death metal into the swamp, combining crushing doom weight with sludge-coated riffs and an abyssal low-end that has been their signature since forming in 2010. The band occupies the uglier, slower end of the death-doom spectrum, where tempo is a weapon and density is the point.
A blackened death/doom metal act from Akureyri in northern Iceland, Moon Bearer channels the Arctic darkness of its subarctic setting into crushing, atmospheric compositions. Active since 2019, the band operates from Iceland's second city, surrounded by fjords and volcanic terrain.
Moon Drunk is a Chicago trio formed in 2021 colliding grindcore velocity with black and death metal extremity into compact, caustic bursts of noise. Operating out of the city's underground, they favor speed and ferocity over nuance — short, punishing songs with no room for comfort.
