Tacoma's Engross tears through grinding death metal at full throttle, welding the surgical brutality of grindcore to old-school death metal's murk since their 2020 formation.
Death/grind project from Spain created by Sobrion't el Putrefacto, debuting with the 2023 EP Sexo, Drogas, Grind y Blasfemia. Their five tracks of deliberately crude grindcore embrace a transgressive, toilet-humor aesthetic.
Memphis' Enraptured blends the visceral speed of grindcore with death metal's tonal punishment, carrying on the Bluff City's tradition of uncompromising extreme music with short, ferocious song structures.

A product of Poland's titan-grade death metal scene, this death metal and grindcore act channels punk-speed chaos meeting death metal's sonic extremity. Active since 2018, the combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
El Cajon's Enthrallment has been fusing death metal and hardcore since 1999, channeling the San Diego underground's pit-ready intensity into a hybrid that hits with the pummeling directness of both genres and the compromise of neither.
Streetsboro, Ohio's Entity of Extinction weaponizes technical death metal and grindcore together, pushing both toward their logical extremes — the precision of the former sharpened by the speed and fury of the latter. Active since 2014 and unrelenting throughout.
Grindcore and death metal act from the Baltic port city of Rostock, Germany, delivering chaotic blasts of extreme noise since 2004. Their two-decade career of visceral, grinding extremity makes them a veteran force in northeastern Germany's underground.
