Death/grind band from Fortaleza, Ceará, formed in 1997 by Bruno Gabai (vocals, guitar, drums) and George Frizzo (bass). The duo has released six records across nearly three decades, including Subversive By Nature (2003) on Encore Records in Brazil — later picked up by Karmageddon Media in Europe and Candlelight Records in the US — Deathmocracy (2009), Animalism (2013), and Medieval Trauma (2022), a split with Guro.
Siege of Power is an international death/thrash metal supergroup formed in the Netherlands in 2017, featuring Chris Reifert (Autopsy) on vocals, Paul Baayens (Asphyx) on guitar, Theo van Eekelen (ex-Hail of Bullets) on bass, and Bob Bagchus (ex-Asphyx) on drums. The band's debut album Warning Blast, released in 2018 on Metal Blade Records, delivered twenty tracks of raw, uncompromising death-thrash with doom and punk underpinnings. Their follow-up This Is Tomorrow (2023) continued the band's relentless approach, drawing on the collective pedigree of its members to produce some of the most authoritative extreme metal of the era.
Siegehammer forge black/death metal from Tarragona on the Catalan coast, combining the atmospheric darkness of black metal with death metal's crushing weight. Formed in 2023, they bring siege-warfare intensity to the Mediterranean extreme scene.
Cincinnati melodic death metal act formed in 2015, balancing hook-driven melody and harsh aggression in the tradition of Scandinavian melodeath with an unmistakably American edge.
Buffalo melodic death metal band active since 2012, blending the snarl and weight of death metal with melodic sensibility from a Great Lakes city with a fierce and underappreciated metal underground.
