Livonia, Michigan's Ethereality have been twisting the DNA of death metal and deathcore with progressive ambition since 2007, building complex song architecture atop crushing heaviness. Over nearly two decades they have refined an approach that rewards both the headbanger and the attentive listener.
Houston's Etheric forge technical death metal and deathcore into a precision instrument of brutality, leveraging the city's deep extreme metal infrastructure since 2013. Their music is characterized by surgical riffing and punishing rhythmic density.
Orlando's Etheric Plague have been infecting Florida's extreme metal scene since 2013 with a volatile mix of technical death metal ferocity and deathcore groove. Their sound carries the humid aggression of the Sunshine State's storied death metal lineage into new territory.
Exploring the depths of death metal and deathcore, this Italian outfit from Milan has been refining their craft since 2022. Their sound hinges on Florida-school brutality with modern precision, delivered with relentless commitment.

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.
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.
