Cemetery Frost is a death-doom band from New Orleans, Louisiana, fusing the glacial tempos and crushing weight of doom metal with the guttural density of old-school death metal, producing a slow-motion devastation amplified by the swampy heaviness of the New Orleans underground.
Death and gothic metal band from Nachrodt in the Sauerland region of Germany, formed in 2018. They blend the aggression of death metal with the dark atmospheres and melodic sensibility of gothic metal.
Cemetery Reign is a death metal band from New Mexico, delivering straightforward, riff-centric old-school death metal with a direct and aggressive approach, brutal rhythmic pounding, and guttural vocal delivery from one of the more isolated outposts of the American underground.
Cemetery Rot is a death metal band from Bakersfield, California, drawing from the Swedish and Finnish old-school traditions with a heavy reliance on buzzsaw guitar tone, gut-punch riffing, and the morbid energy of early Dismember and Entombed.
Cemetery Shade is a death metal band from Broward County, Florida, emerging from the same South Florida scene that spawned the genre's founding acts, with a mid-paced, thick-riffed sound rooted in the Floridian tradition of early Obituary and Death.
Death metal band from Kraków, active since 2016. Cemetery Whore channels morbid, graveyard-themed death metal from the former Polish royal capital.
Black-death metal band from Loimaa, Finland, emerging in 2025. They channel dark, sepulchral metal from the Finnish countryside.
Cenagal is a thrash metal band from Quilpué whose debut demo, released in August 2018 through Valparaíso distro Los Restos Dela Esfera, announced a sound shaped by classic extreme thrash forebears including early Sepultura, Slayer, Kreator, Pestilence, and Sodom. Their self-described "dirty and streetwise" approach grounds the band firmly in the street-level thrash tradition of the Chilean underground.
