Septic Corpse crawled out of Frostburg, Maryland in 2024, immediately planting themselves in the goregrind end of extreme music. Their brand of grindcore prioritizes speed and grotesque texture over everything else, trading in the kind of lo-fi savagery that goregrind demands. Even as a newly formed outfit, they waste no time making their filthy intentions known.
Septic Vomet grind through their deliberately misspelled grindcore from the German underground, channeling the subgenre's tradition of grotesque humor and sonic extremity. Their output favors chaotic, abrasive brevity.
Ivanovo's Septicopyemia pair death metal and grindcore from the central Russian textile city since 2011. Their medical-horror name channels systemic infection into compositions of relentless extremity.
Ohio-based Sepulcher formed in 2024 operating at the violent intersection of death metal and grindcore. Their music combines the technicality and brutality of death metal song structures with the explosive, short-burst intensity of grindcore, resulting in something chaotic and unrelenting. As a brand-new act they have already staked out an extreme and punishing corner of the Midwestern underground.
Sequestrum deliver death metal and grindcore from Copenhagen, channeling medical-themed extremity (their name refers to a bone fragment isolated by necrosis). Formed in 2022, they bring pathological precision to the Danish extreme scene.
Boston's Serpent of Gnosis grind and bludgeon at the intersection of death metal and grindcore, channeling frenzied blastbeats and dense riff violence into tightly wound bursts of extremity since forming in 2019.
Crushing Grindcore / Death Metal from Austin, Texas (early); Portland, Oregon (later).
Seven Actual grind through short, explosive compositions from Jyvaskyla, channeling grindcore's tradition of maximum intensity in minimum time. Formed in 2022, they bring numerical precision to the central Finnish grind scene.
Multi-genre extreme metal band from Tielt in West Flanders, active since 2008, blending black metal, death metal, grindcore, and crust punk into a volatile sonic cocktail. Their stylistic range reflects an uncompromising approach to extreme music that refuses genre boundaries.
