Death metal and grindcore band from Tewkesbury, England, who later evolved into doom and death metal territory. Their stylistic journey from grinding extremity to crushing doom reflects a deepening heaviness over their career.
A 2025 arrival from the small Bosnian town of Laktaši, Prorok fuses black metal tremolo with harsh noise textures and grindcore brevity. This experimental project occupies a deliberately uncomfortable space between ambient dread and all-out sonic violence.
Blackened grindcore and crust band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2012, named after the opium alkaloid protopine. Over a decade of chemical-fueled extremity from the Russian capital.
A South Carolina death-grind outfit formed in 2021, Psionic Madness attacks from both ends of the extreme spectrum — brutal death metal density colliding with grindcore's frantic pace and compacted song structures.
A very recent entry from Silver Spring, Maryland, Psychiatric Collapse formed in 2024 and plays a brutal hybrid of death metal and grindcore — short, furious, and clinically violent in its execution.
Brutal Death Metal, Goregrind from Dallas.
Brutal death metal and grindcore band from Saint Petersburg, Russia, formed in 2013, delivering over a decade of psychically deranged extremity from the northern capital. They bring mind-bending brutality to the Petersburg scene.
A grindcore-death metal hybrid from the Moravian town of Bystřice pod Hostýnem, Psychopathia has been grinding since 2018. Their brief, explosive compositions channel the genre's finest traditions — Carcass's medical horror meets Napalm Death's social fury.
Death metal and grindcore band from Kirov, Russia, formed in 2018, delivering pathological extremity from the Vyatka River city. They bring grinding death metal to the Russian northeast.
