Brutal death-grindcore band from Valenciennes in northern France, formed in 2023. They deliver punishing, abrasive extremity from the Nord region.

Gulf Coast grindcore featuring Insect Warfare drummer Frank Faerman.
Death metal and grindcore act from Brno, Czech Republic, formed in 2020. They channel the Moravian capital's rich extreme metal heritage through a blend of grinding blasts and guttural death metal.
Grindcore band from Algeciras in Cadiz province, Spain, active since 2012. They deliver chaotic grinding fury from the southernmost tip of mainland Spain.
Galesburg, Illinois's Cult of Mutants collapse death metal, grindcore, sludge, and experimental noise into a deliberately deformed mass with little regard for genre tidiness. The result is exactly what the name suggests — a mutated, grotesque thing that thrives in the margins of extreme music.
Lakeland, Florida's Cum Soaked Corpses Leaking Rectal Discharge are a two-piece goregrind duo who weaponize slamming rhythms, guttural extremity, and intentional provocation into brief, relentless bursts of brutal death metal noise. Self-described as stoned, drunk scumbags, they've released a steady stream of material including the 2023 full-length Indica Cocaine.
Nashville's Cumshot Wound are a grindy noise-worship unit who pack visceral, relentless riffs and raw, socio-political lyrical content into short, grinding blasts that blur the lines between death metal, grindcore, and metalcore. Formed in 2024 and signed to Scum City Entertainment, they quickly became one of Tennessee's most confrontational new acts.
