Renewal is a brutal death metal band from Luhačovice in the Zlín Region of eastern Moravia, Czech Republic, formed in 2025. The project represents the newest wave of Czech brutal death metal emerging from the country's spa-town countryside.
Renuen is a melodic death metal band from Baranovichi, Belarus, active since 2010 with five releases to their name including Follow Our Horror and A Letter From Hell. Their catalog maintains a cohesive dark thematic vision across melodic death metal compositions rooted in the Belarusian underground scene.
Death/black metal band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2019. Their approach merges death and black metal from the Russian capital.
Chicago's Repentance launched in 2021 blending melodic groove metal with metalcore, sitting comfortably in the tradition of hard-hitting Midwestern bands that prioritize groove and aggression over pure technicality. The city's blue-collar metal legacy — think Disturbed, Soil — echoes through their emphasis on rhythmic punch and vocal hooks. A young band with a clear sense of purpose.
Doom/death metal project from the UK, active since 2013. Their approach combines doom metal's crushing weight with death metal's ferocity.
Boston's Replacire are one of the more cerebral technical death metal acts operating in New England, forming in 2012 and building a reputation for compositions that are dense and disorienting without surrendering melody entirely. Their music rewards patient, attentive listening — rhythmic structures shift beneath you, while lead work snakes through impossible angles. They're one of the American tech-death underground's best-kept secrets.
Repossessed was a raw black/death metal band from Beveren, East Flanders, Belgium, originally formed in 1997 and active intermittently until 2006. The band cycled between raw black metal in its early phase and black/death metal in a later incarnation before permanently splitting.
Reprieve is a progressive death metal and metalcore band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2020. The band fuses the technical ambition of progressive death metal with metalcore's dynamic intensity from the German capital.
Thrash/death metal band from the Surrey/Berkshire border area, active since 2013. Their approach merges thrash velocity with death metal's heaviness from the English Home Counties.
