Melodic death metal act from Prešov in eastern Slovakia, formed in 2022. Cellearius delivers hook-driven extreme metal from the Šariš region.
Celtic Frost formed in Zürich, Switzerland in June 1984 when guitarist Thomas Gabriel Fischer and bassist Martin Eric Ain dissolved their previous band Hellhammer and rebuilt with more ambitious musical goals. Their first two records, Morbid Tales (1984) and To Mega Therion (1985), were foundational texts for extreme metal, directly influencing the development of black, death, and doom metal. After a long hiatus, the band reformed and released the critically acclaimed Monotheist in 2006 before disbanding permanently in 2008 when Fischer departed to form Triptykon.
Melodic death-power-thrash act from Udine in Friuli, formed in 2020. Celtic Hills blends folk-tinged melodies with aggressive extreme metal in a genre-crossing approach.
Cemetarian is a death metal band from Houston, Texas, working in the filthy, cavernous tradition of bands like Incantation and Autopsy, favoring thick production and lurching, morbid riff patterns rooted in early-1990s death metal aesthetics.
Cemetary is a heavy metal band from Center Line, Michigan, playing traditional metal with a no-frills Midwest sensibility rooted in classic hard rock and heavy metal, built around clean vocals and mid-tempo riffing.
Cemeterum is a death metal band from Ohio steeped in the morbid, old-school tradition, favoring heavy downtuned riffing and murky production over technical showmanship, with a sound that leans toward the death-doom fringe of early death metal.
Tampa's Cemetery emerged from the same Florida death metal tradition that built the genre's founding mythology — thick, swampy riffs, cavernous production, and a death-is-everywhere aesthetic.
Cemetery Earth is a death metal band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, rooted in the old-school tradition with thick riffs, deliberate pacing, and a production aesthetic that recalls the murk of early 1990s American death metal.
Cemetery Filth is a death metal band from Atlanta, Georgia, known for channeling the cavernous and bestial approach of Incantation and Grave — suffocating riffs, deep guttural vocals drenched in reverb, and a deliberately sepulchral atmosphere.
