Ripping Brutal Death Metal / Grindcore from El Paso.
Halifax's Splatter Brain grind through a nasty intersection of death metal and grindcore. Since 2018, their short, sharp bursts of extremity have made them fixtures of the West Yorkshire heavy underground.
Splatter Control is a grindcore band from Lombard, Illinois, formed in 2012, delivering short, explosive bursts of noise-infused grind rooted in the Midwest's long tradition of extreme underground music.
Splatter Day Saints is a grindcore and death metal band from Carson City, Nevada, formed in 2012, playing gore-drenched extreme music with a name that riffs on the region's dominant cultural backdrop.
Splatter Whore is a death 'n' roll and grindcore band from East St. Louis, Illinois, formed in 2009, blending the groove-heavy swagger of death 'n' roll with the abrasion of goregrind in the Midwest underground tradition.
Splattered is a brutal death metal band from Fremont, California, formed in 2012, delivering technically precise and viscerally punishing brutal death with deep roots in the Bay Area's extreme metal scene.
Splattered Entrails is a brutal death metal and goregrind band from Levittown, New York, formed in 2006, combining the guttural density of brutal death with the surgical gore fixation of goregrind in the Long Island underground.
SplatterFace is a death metal and goregrind band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2018, trafficking in gore-soaked extremity with the irreverent spirit typical of Southern California's prolific underground splatter scene.
Voghera's SplatterGoat merge death metal and grindcore from the Lombard plains since 2014. Their goat-splatter imagery channels deliberately grotesque aesthetics into short, punishing bursts of extremity.
