Czech death metal band from Moravský Písek, founded in 2007, featuring vocalist Jane Taylor alongside a dual-guitar attack. Their three studio albums -- Pictures, Crowned in Dark, and Human Kind -- showcase an evolving take on dark, heavy death metal.
Uncompromising death metal from Bari, active since 2015. Their material trades in the genre's heaviest traditions: cavernous vocals, churning guitar work, and percussion that hits with tectonic force.
German black/death metal band from Marburg, formed in 2018. They wage blackened death metal warfare from the Hessian university town.
Bestialgoat is a two-piece war metal act from São Cristóvão/Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil, formed in 2020 by I. Lead Injektor (guitars/bass) and A. Mutilator (vocals/drums). The duo has been noted as a standout in the new wave of Brazilian bestial black metal, releasing the full-length "Infernal Goat Extermination" in 2024.
Death metal outfit from Martin, formed in 1996. Their sound draws from the genre's foundational playbook of crushing riffs, blast beats, and growled vocals, executed with the conviction of dedicated extremists.
German death metal band from Emden in East Frisia, formed in 2014. They deliver brutal death metal from the North Sea coast of Lower Saxony.
Ufa-based death metal/grindcore outfit active since 2016, blasting through short, ferocious compositions that marry death metal's low-end churn with grindcore's frenetic speed. Their music operates at maximum intensity with minimal patience for subtlety.
Death/thrash outfit from Fano (Pesaro and Urbino), formed in 2011. Their sound channels the raw energy of 1980s thrash through death metal's heavier lens, pairing aggressive vocals with riff-centric compositions.
Gostyń-based death metal act active since 2018, trafficking in the genre's essential currency of guttural vocals, down-tuned riffs, and relentless percussive punishment. Their compositions deliver uncompromising heaviness rooted in the old-school tradition.
