Los Angeles death-thrash band formed in 2016, merging the technical aggression of death metal with thrash's velocity and street-level intensity. A decade into their career, they remain rooted in the DIY ethos of the LA underground.
Tremescum from the Mannheim/Kaiserslautern axis deliver a fierce death/thrash metal assault from the Rhineland-Palatinate since 2018. Their compositions channel both genres' most aggressive elements through the industrial landscapes of the Rhine-Neckar region.
Tremor from Toijala deliver death metal with the seismic impact their earthquake-referencing name promises since 2017. Their compositions shake through the southern Finnish town with tectonic brutality.
Tremors from Singen near Lake Constance deliver death metal with the seismic force their geological name promises since 2017. Their sound shakes with tectonic brutality from the southernmost edge of Baden-Württemberg, close to the Swiss and Austrian borders.
Trench Foot is a death metal band from Liverpool, formed in 2021. Named after the infamous World War I affliction, their music brings wartime brutality to the Merseyside death metal scene.
Ohio brutal death metal and grindcore act formed in 2020, dealing in short, violent bursts of distorted noise with the surgical precision of death metal riffing beneath the chaos. Their name does not oversell the filth.
Bestial war metal from West Texas. Demo released through Nuclear War Now! Productions, debut full-length on Transcending Obscurity Records.
World War Metal from Austin featuring members of Imprecation and Morbosidad. Debut full-length Commandoccult released 2022 on Godz Ov War Productions.
Austin's Trenchant deal in blackened death metal of the uncompromising variety — dense, caustic, and unrelenting since their 2018 formation. Their approach fuses the atmospherics of raw black metal with the brute physicality of death metal, making them a notable presence on the Texas extreme underground scene.
