Los Angeles's Choke Me operates in the brutal, compact world of grindcore, delivering short bursts of noise and aggression from the sprawling underground of Southern California. Their sound is confrontational and deliberately abrasive, cut from the genre's most extreme cloth.
Death metal and grindcore act from Rakovnik, Czech Republic, active since 2009. Their provocatively named output delivers abrasive, chaotic extremity in the Czech grind tradition.
Washington grindcore project Choking Sands tear through material with hardcore ferocity and grind economy, leaving little room for breath between blasts. Short, sharp, and relentless.
Wheeling, Illinois grind/death act Chomo Eradicator deal in punishing blasts and visceral extremity with no pretense of subtlety. Loud, ugly, and to the point.
Philadelphia's Chopped Up blend death metal violence with grind efficiency and hardcore swagger, keeping things fast and ugly in the tradition of Philly's combative underground. Short and brutal.
Milwaukee death/grind act Chopping Mall trade in B-movie-inspired carnage, delivering blasting extremity with a wicked sense of humor. Wisconsin underground weirdness at its finest.
Death-grind-thrash act from Radom, central Poland, formed in 2017. Christhole delivers a volatile mix of extreme subgenres.
Black-grind act from Stavropol in the North Caucasus, active since 2008. ChristInvertion delivers blasphemous extremity merging black metal with grindcore.
Death-grind act from Novosibirsk, active since 2015. ChristoSadist delivers blasphemous, blast-driven extremity from the Siberian capital.
