Wharflurch

Gainesville, FL, US · 2019–present · active
Gainesville's Wharflurch formed in 2019, emerging from the North Florida college town that has always punched above its weight in underground music with a death-doom sound that feels genuinely swamp-adjacent — slow, putrefying, and emanating something deeply unpleasant. Gainesville's humidity and proximity to old Florida wilderness seeps into everything, and Wharflurch sounds like it grew up from the ground rather than being constructed. Death-doom for the subtropics.

When Darkness Falls

Longmont, CO, US · 2017–present · active
Longmont, Colorado's When Darkness Falls formed in 2017 at the crossroads of melodic death metal and metalcore, a pairing that the Front Range scene has proven particularly adept at sustaining. Their sound draws on the melodic death tradition's twin obligations — genuine hookcraft and real ferocity — while metalcore's structural clarity gives it the accessibility that makes the genre stick. Colorado's altitude, it turns out, suits this kind of intensity.

Whipworm

Los Angeles, CA, US · 2016–present · active
Los Angeles' Whipworm formed in 2016 combining the caustic aggression of death metal with thrash's relentless forward propulsion — a combination the city's sprawling extreme music underground has always had room for. Their name is as unpleasant as their sound is meant to be, and in LA's competitive heavy underground that is a credibility move as much as anything else. Fast, filthy, and exactly as hostile as intended.

Ablis, FR · 2014–present · active
Death metal band from Ablis, France active since 2014. Whisper of Death delivers punishing death metal from the small town in the Île-de-France countryside.
