Apallic Decay is a black and death metal band from the Katzweiler and Kaiserslautern area of Germany, formed in 2016, delivering a mixture of black and death metal with progressive influences that brings a versatile approach to the stage. Their releases include First Blood, the EP Return of the Unhallowed, and the full-length Realms of Tartaros, drawing thematic inspiration from Greek mythology and the underworld.
Death metal band from Timóteo, Minas Gerais, active from 2018 until their split-up in 2025. They released material through the independent label Digital Yourself and built a small but dedicated following on Spotify, playing straightforward death metal rooted in the Brazilian underground tradition of their home state.
Los Angeles death metal project from the California underground.
Xenia, Ohio death metal project whose name evokes both domestic horror and a near-miss on the number of the beast. Minimal output from a small Ohio city known more for tornadoes than extreme music.

Apathetic delivers thrash and death metal from Eskişehir in central Anatolia since 2013. Their emotionally disconnected name drives over a decade of compositions from this Turkish university city and railway hub.
