When Eldprov emerged in 2020 from Gällivare, they brought with them a sound rooted in black metal, death metal, and thrash metal — all frigid atmospherics and razor-wire guitar tone. Blast beats and shrieked vocals create an impenetrable wall of darkness.
Gothenburg, Sweden — black metal and death metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2014, they deal in raw, lo-fi aggression channeled through kvlt aesthetics. Lo-fi authenticity lends their recordings a genuinely oppressive character.
Richmond's Eldritch have spent well over a decade warping the death/doom template with psychedelic currents, producing music that feels both ancient and hallucinatory — slow, murky, and deeply strange.
One of death metal's quiet veterans, Eldritch Horror have been grinding out straightforward, no-frills death metal from Raleigh since 1991, accumulating decades of underground credibility without ever softening their approach.
Solo symphonic/viking metal project by multi-instrumentalist Christoph V., combining majestic orchestral arrangements with heavy 7-string guitar work and Norse mythological themes.
Rochester's Electric Bath have carved out a niche in grindcore-laced death metal since 2023, keeping things brutally short and surgically violent in the tradition of the genre's most relentless practitioners.
Indianapolis's Electric Satan cast a wide net across blackened death and doom metal, forging a sound since 2018 that is equal parts sinister and suffocating — the city's underground distilled into something genuinely malevolent.
Albuquerque's Electrocuted have been welding death and thrash metal together since 2018 in a city not known for extreme music, making their existence a small but defiant entry in the New Mexico underground.
Death metal and grindcore act from Riihimaki, Finland. They deliver raw, grinding extremity from southern Finland.
