Regurgitated Devourer is a brutal/slamming death metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, originally formed as Swathed in Blood in 2022. Inspired by acts like Abominable Putridity and Kraanium, the project delivers punishing slam death metal with guttural intensity.
Regurgitated Innards is a death metal/grindcore band from Uppsala, Sweden, active since 2014. Their releases 'Feeding the Abominable,' 'Gutting Process,' and 'Smothered' deliver visceral extreme metal from the Swedish underground.
Bergenfield, New Jersey's Regurgitation have been working the grindcore and death metal underground since 2011, drawing on the East Coast's long history of extreme brutality in a town that sits in the sprawl outside New York City. Direct, unpolished, and built on the genre's core values of speed and aggression.
Death metal band from Vicenza, Italy, with roots dating to 1998. Nearly three decades of death metal from the Veneto represent exceptional underground longevity.
Connecticut's Reign Cloud have been cultivating a heavy, mournful doom/death sound since 2016 — music that shares the bleak introspection of the genre's forebears while carving out its own gloomy character. The New England setting suits the pace and atmosphere perfectly.
Reign of Chaos is a melodic death/power metal band from Döhlau in Upper Franconia, Bavaria, formed in 2014. The band merges the aggression of melodic death metal with the soaring melodies of power metal from rural northern Bavaria.
Out of Ronkonkoma, Long Island, Reign of Fear have been delivering melodic death metal with aggression and craft since 2016, fusing the melody-forward approach of Scandinavian influence with the harder edges of American death metal. They're part of a resilient Long Island scene that punches well above its geographic expectations.
Progressive death/black metal act from Chard in Somerset, whose 2012 album 'Elegy' and 'Fractured Reflections' EP weave technical complexity through extreme metal foundations. Their compositional ambition pushes beyond conventional genre constraints from an unlikely corner of southwest England.
