$lutrot is a slam and brutal death metal project with members spread across Nevada, North Carolina, and Texas. The band emerged in 2018 with a split alongside Nephrectomy before dropping their debut full-length "$LAUGHTERED $LUT $TORIES" the following year, delivering a short but savage burst of guttural slam brutality.
(0) is a Danish extreme metal band operating in the space between death metal, doom metal, and post-metal. Signed to Napalm Records, the band layers crushing low-end riffs with atmospheric, expansive passages characteristic of the post-metal tradition. Their approach places them within a lineage of Scandinavian bands pushing the boundaries between heaviness and texture.
(god-rot) is a progressive death metal and grindcore outfit from Rochester, New York. The band made their mark with their 2022 self-titled full-length, an eight-track album that fuses the technical ambition of progressive death metal with the frenzied velocity of grindcore.
Death metal band from São Luís, Maranhão, one of the few extreme metal acts to emerge from Brazil's northeastern coastal capital. Active since 2018, the band builds their lyrical world around Lovecraftian mythos and cosmic horror, weaving themes of eldritch dread through their sound. They are documented on Metal Archives and signed to Metal Island label.
...with Abandon is a death metal band from Bellingham, Washington, debuting in 2024 with the three-track EP "Scheele's Green." Named after the arsenic-laced pigment, tracks like "Hopefiend" and "Cinders of Seraphim" suggest a band drawn to morbid historical curiosity alongside their brutal sonic approach. The band represents the Pacific Northwest's continued contribution to American death metal.
.50Collateral is a death metal act from Alabama that emerged in 2025 with the four-track EP "Desolation of the Last Species." The release features track titles of escalating absurdity, culminating in the unforgettably named "Being Choked to Death by a Hillbilly with Banjo Strings and This Is the Last Thing You Hear." The band deals in raw, Southern-fried brutality with a pitch-black sense of humor.
0% Hate is a death metal act from Las Vegas, Nevada, active since 2016 with a demo and two EPs to their name. Their 2020 EP "At the Mercy of Your Own" — released in both standard and instrumental versions — showcases a contemplative strain of death metal with philosophical song titles like "amor fati" and "as all is merely random." The band brings an unusually introspective dimension to the Vegas extreme metal scene.
1 Body 6 Graves is a death metal outfit hailing from Columbus, Indiana, dealing in guttural brutality with tracks like "Writhing Mass of Bodies" and "Bestial Resection." Emerging in 2022 with a self-titled EP, the band delivers seven cuts of no-frills death metal built on grinding riffs, blast beats, and an unflinching fixation on gore. Their approach is firmly rooted in the American underground death metal tradition, favoring raw aggression over polish.
10-50 Nightmare is a death metal and groove metal band from Rotterdam, New York, debuting in 2024 with a self-titled four-track EP. Named after the police code for a traffic accident, the band plays a blend of chunky groove riffs and death metal aggression with an in-your-face attitude. Tracks like "Watch Your Tude Bro" and "You Make Me Feel Hatred" establish the band's confrontational tone.
