Missouri Quiet is a technical deathcore act from the Siberian city of Tyumen, active since 2012. The band delivers precision-driven extremity from one of Russia's most important oil cities.
Moana is a deathcore band from the interior of São Paulo state delivering heavy, Portuguese-language extreme music. The band released the album "Oceano Paralelo" and has steadily built a catalog since their early 2010s demos, including the track "Cordilheira da Discórdia."
A deathcore act from the French Riviera city of Cannes, Moghan-Ra delivers crushing breakdowns far from the red carpet glamour the city is known for. Active since 2016, the band provides a heavy counterpoint to the Côte d'Azur's reputation for luxury.
A brutal death metal and deathcore band from Niel, Antwerp, Belgium, formed in 2003 — their name meaning 'sledgehammer' in Dutch. Having shared stages with Napalm Death, Misery Index, and Job for a Cowboy over two decades, their discography includes the breakthrough 'Translating the Pain' (2007), reissued in a 15th anniversary edition by Necktwister, along with subsequent albums 'Total Domination', 'Satan's Den', and 'Home Invader'.
Kenosha, Wisconsin's Monarch Dethroned combine the downtuned savagery of deathcore with the technical brutality of death metal, building a punishing sound since their 2016 formation.
MoonGod is a Union, New Jersey project formed in 2013 that straddles black metal, death metal, and deathcore — a combination that yields dense, heavy music with extremity coming from multiple directions simultaneously. The deathcore element brings a breakdown-ready low-end to what would otherwise be a straightforward blackened death framework.
Longview, Texas act formed in 2014, stacking technical death metal intricacy on top of a deathcore framework for a sound that is simultaneously punishing and precisely executed. They represent the East Texas underground's willingness to push extremity beyond genre borders.
San Francisco's Mordred are one of the most distinctive acts to emerge from the late-1980s Bay Area thrash scene, fusing tight thrash riffing with funk grooves and hip-hop sensibilities in a way that sounded unlike anything else at the time. Reactivated and recording since 2020, they continue to occupy a genre-crossing space that defies easy categorization.
Long-running Salinas, California act Moria have been bridging deathcore and death metal since 2004, outlasting countless scene trends to remain a fixture of the Central Valley underground with a brutal, technically grounded sound.
