DTI emerged from Lynnwood, Washington in 2019 at the crossroads of black metal's cold atmosphere and grindcore's blunt-force intensity. Their approach fuses blast-beat brutality and punk hostility with corrosive black metal textures, a combination that has flourished in the Pacific Northwest's underground. Short, vicious, and uncompromising.
Atlanta's Dungeon Filth wasted no time after forming in 2021, delivering the kind of grimy, fast-and-ugly hybrid of death metal and grindcore that the name promises without apology. Georgia's extreme underground has a history of unruly, low-fi nastiness, and Dungeon Filth fit squarely in that lineage — short blasts of putrid riffage with zero interest in accessibility. Pure cavern-dwelling brutality.

Dysmenorrhea is a goregrind act from Malta, delivering the genre's characteristic ultra-guttural vocals, blast beats, and medically themed brutality from the Mediterranean's smallest island nation. Their gynecological name places them firmly in the tradition of goregrind's fascination with clinical horror.
