Brutal death metal band from Thessaloniki, Greece active since 2017. They deliver crushing brutality from northern Greece.
Las Vegas deathcore act Evade the Swarm has been punishing the Nevada underground since 2017, fusing the slam and breakdown-driven architecture of deathcore with old-school death metal grime. Their name evokes frantic survival instinct, and their music delivers the sonic equivalent — overwhelming, swarming, and relentless.
Melancholic death/doom metal band from Valencia, Spain formed in 2003, drawing deep influence from the iconic doom bands of the 1990s. Their extensive catalog includes A Mother Named Death, The Pale Light of Fireflies, and the 20th anniversary live studio album.
Seattle death metal outfit Evangelist has been carving through the Pacific Northwest's extreme metal underground since 2011, despite the band's Bandcamp presence under the doom-adjacent label name. Their decade-and-a-half of activity in Washington's fertile heavy music community speaks to a persistent dedication to the craft.
Oregon-based Evaporated Sores arrived in 2020 with a corrosive fusion of industrial death metal and death-doom, wrapping machine-like precision around crawling, pestilent tempos. The project weaponizes electronics and abrasion equally, resulting in something that feels less like a band and more like a slow industrial collapse.
Underground to the core, this black metal and death metal act from Poland traffics in tremolo-picked fury and blast-beat savagery. Since 2015, they've built a catalog that reflects Poland's relentlessly productive underground.
Tucson's Evasion has been honing a particularly surgical form of technical deathcore since 2018, merging the mechanical precision of tech-death with the breakneck structural collapse of deathcore. The Arizona desert heat seems to have burned away any excess, leaving a project defined by density and ruthless efficiency.
A product of Italy's deep-rooted extreme metal underground, this Turin-based death metal and progressive metal act channels Opeth-school dynamics married to modern progressive sensibility. Active since 2017, the combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Enterprise, Alabama's Evenfall has been delivering melodic death metal with Southern grit since 2020, combining the sweeping melodic sensibility of the genre's Scandinavian roots with the directness of American metal. They represent a growing contingent of Alabama bands pushing melodic extremity outside the traditional regional centers.
