Voidfallen is a melodic death metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2019 as a two-person project between Tommi and Henri, now released through Noble Demon. Their discography — from 2021's "The Atlas of Spiritual Apocalypse" through 2025's "The Rituals of Resilience" — blends symphonic elements with melodic death metal in compositions praised for their technical mastery.
Voidhaven is a doom/death metal band from Hamburg, Germany, formed in 2018. They combine the crushing weight of doom with death metal's guttural intensity and oppressive atmosphere.
Voidhämmer emerged from Long Beach in 2026 dragging the grime of crust punk straight into the decomposing mouth of death metal. Their sound is all blunt force and corroded edges — d-beat propulsion colliding with churning, low-tuned riffs that owe as much to Discharge as to early Entombed. A new band with old hatreds, and no interest in being pleasant about it.
Boston's VoidKeeper arrived in 2022 with a blackened death metal sound that leans hard into controlled chaos — blastbeat intensity checked by moments of eerie, harmonically unsettling riffwork. The New England setting feels fitting; there's a cold, grey hostility to what they do that puts atmosphere ahead of brutality for brutality's sake. A young band already operating with unusual compositional focus.
Voidkosm is a blackened death metal project from Chemnitz, Germany, formed in 2025. They fuse the chaos of blackened metal with death metal's brutality.
Voidkush is a black/death/doom metal band from Barcelona, Spain, formed in 2018. They merge the crushing weight of doom with black and death metal's ferocity for a triple-threat of heaviness.
Voids of Vomit is a death metal band from Brescia, Italy, active since 2008. They play aggressive, filthy death metal from the Lombardy underground.
Voidspire emerges from Oslo's fertile extreme metal scene with an atmospheric take on death metal that emphasizes texture and mood alongside crushing heaviness. Their layered approach incorporates ambient passages within a framework of guttural aggression and intricate riffing.
Seattle's Voidthrone have been active since 2016 in the black/death metal space, drawing on the Pacific Northwest's rich tradition of extreme underground music while avoiding its more atmospheric tendencies. Their sound prioritizes aggression over ambiance — a raw, war-metal-adjacent intensity that treats melody as a secondary concern to punishment. A decade into Seattle's post-grunge recovery, they're proof the city's underground still has venom.
