Michigan's Nigh Ungodly surgically disassemble their victims with technical death metal precision before dropping them into deathcore breakdowns of crushing weight. Peoria has rarely produced anything this methodically destructive.
Nightmare Constellation is an Innsbruck-based progressive death metal and deathcore band featuring vocalist Tom Stover, guitarist Patrick Schatz, bassist Dominik Schatz, and drummer Clemens Recheis. Citing influences from Gojira to Cult of Luna, their release 'Palingenesis' fuses sludge-metal heaviness with progressive deathcore technicality.
From Moravia in central New York, NilExistence has been working the border between death metal and deathcore since 2016, building a sound that is as mechanically precise as it is viscerally crushing. The rural upstate NY setting lends their music an isolation that fits the genre's obsession with annihilation and void.
Bergen, New Jersey's NJDOTS have been grinding out brutal deathcore since 2010, fusing the gutting low-end of brutal death metal with the pit-ready breakdowns and caustic energy of deathcore. Over a decade-plus of activity, they've honed a sound that is relentlessly physical — all down-tuned punishment and blastbeat aggression — making them a fixture of the Northeast's underground extreme metal circuit.
Nocebo is a blackened deathcore and death metal band from the Normandy and Grand Est regions of France, formed in 2024. Their sound fuses the breakdown-heavy aggression of deathcore with blackened death metal extremity.
Nochaa is a deathcore band from Abergavenny, Wales, active since 2015. The band delivers breakdown-heavy deathcore from the Monmouthshire market town.
Nodafreth is a melodic death metal and deathcore band from Morges, Switzerland, active since 2019. The band combines the melodic intricacy of Gothenburg-style death metal with modern deathcore breakdowns from the Lake Geneva region.
Noise Trail Immersion is a black/death/deathcore band from Turin, Italy, active since 2014. They push extreme metal boundaries with their immersive, chaotic approach to sonic violence.
Nomogenez is a death metal and deathcore band from Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, formed in 2025. Named after the biological concept of directed evolution, they bring new brutality from central Siberia.
