Chicago death metal and grindcore act Bat Eater has been grinding since 2020, tackling themes of satire, paranoia, and coronavirus-era zeitgeist with characteristically vicious brevity.
Death-grind act from Włocławek, formed in 2017. Their approach strips away anything that does not serve the cause of sheer aggression, delivering sub-two-minute salvos of blast beats and guttural fury.
Finnish death metal and grindcore band from Helsinki, formed in 2025. They deliver battle-shocked death-grind from the Finnish capital.
BDSM was a Brazilian raw black metal, grindcore, and noise band that self-identified as "Junkie Black Metal," operating out of Inferno, Brazil from around 2016 to 2023. The trio — LL (bass/vocals), FG (drums), and DM (guitars) — released a string of lo-fi assaults including the demos "Primitivo Black Metal" and "Poser Demo," as well as the albums "Dark, Black, Blacker!!!" and "End," finishing their run with the EP "The Black Metal Drugged" (2023) on No Profit, No Money Records. Their themes centered on human degradation, sex, drugs, and hate, channeling the ugliest end of the Brazilian underground.

Oslo-based progressive grindcore innovators formed in 2010, nominated twice for the Norwegian Grammy in the metal category. Their irreverent approach layers mathcore, melodic black metal, and nu-metal flourishes over a grindcore foundation, producing endlessly surprising compositions across six full-length albums.
Death metal and grindcore trio from Stratford-upon-Avon, active since 2003, featuring Ewan Gibb on guitar and vocals. Their prolific catalog of splits and releases culminating in Analysis of Beauty delivers compact bursts of deathgrind and deathrash in tracks often under two minutes.
Grindcore and brutal death metal band from London, active since 2016. Their albums A Jigsaw of a Flock of Geese and Leftover Pieces deliver grinding extremity from the London underground.
Death-grind act from Belgrade, trading in short bursts of chaos. Their approach strips away anything that does not serve the cause of sheer aggression, delivering sub-two-minute salvos of blast beats and guttural fury.
