Mondo Podre is a grindcore band from Galicia, Spain, mixing death metal, neocrust, hardcore, and mathcore into anxious, politically charged blasts. Their 2024 album 'Nadie al Volante' packs twelve minutes of fury including a Cryptopsy cover played faster than the original, following releases like 'Necronomia de Subexistencia' (2022) and a live split with Surra.
A grindcore act from Gothenburg, Monkey Mush has been delivering rapid-fire extremity since 2015. The band channels the chaotic simian energy of their name into short, punishing blasts.
Chicago's Monolith have been at the intersection of progressive and thrash metal since 1993, one of the longer-tenured acts in the city's underground, built on technical riffing and ambitious song structures.
Snoqualmie, Washington's Monster Blood are a hyperactive collision of crossover thrash, grindcore, power metal, and powerviolence — a chaotic, tongue-in-cheek band that refuses to settle into any single lane since forming in 2015.
A goregrind act out of Los Angeles, Monster Creamer formed in 2025 and lean into the deliberately absurd, grotesque end of grindcore, delivering blastbeat-heavy noise with all the restraint the genre demands — which is none.
Monsterbrau is a death metal and grindcore act from Roanne in the Loire department, active since 2018. The band pairs death metal heaviness with grindcore's compact fury, delivering short, punishing bursts of extremity.
Moon Drunk is a Chicago trio formed in 2021 colliding grindcore velocity with black and death metal extremity into compact, caustic bursts of noise. Operating out of the city's underground, they favor speed and ferocity over nuance — short, punishing songs with no room for comfort.
Moon Witch is a Dayton, Ohio band formed in 2021 that tears through black metal, death metal, and grindcore in roughly equal measure, trading in speed and ugliness with clear enthusiasm. Their Bandcamp handle — moonwitchusbm — signals a commitment to underground black metal aesthetics even as the grind influence pulls them toward pure noise.
New Bedford, Massachusetts's Moral Decay blend death metal's gravity with grindcore's blunt-force speed and brevity, a combination that's been a fixture of the New England underground since their 2013 formation.
