Mount Airy, Maryland's Delenda — active since 2012 — build their symphonic deathcore around layers of orchestral grandeur draped over bone-crushing breakdowns and death metal brutality.

Shelton, Connecticut's Delta Protocol arrived in 2020 merging deathcore's rhythmic devastation with death metal's compositional darkness.
