Vomi Noir is a death metal/goregrind band from Toulouse, France, formed in 2016. Their name meaning "black vomit," they deliver visceral extreme metal from southern France.
Detroit's Vomiphilia rose from the city's already abrasive underground in 2021, fusing death metal's grotesque anatomy with goregrind's fixation on bodily horror. Their music lands with the blunt force of a city that has never had much patience for subtlety — raw, disgusting, and thoroughly committed to extremity.
New York's Vomit Fist have been hammering out short, brutal grindcore assaults since 2014, the kind of band that treats song length as a luxury they simply can't afford. Relentless blastbeats and serrated riffs delivered with zero ornamentation define their output — pure grind economy from a state with a long, vicious tradition of it.
Vomit Mass is a death metal/grindcore band from Thessaloniki, Greece, formed in 2026. They combine death metal's heaviness with grindcore's velocity.
Vomit Spell is a death metal/grindcore band from Mainz, Germany, formed in 2019. They combine death metal's heaviness with grindcore's speed and brevity for a chaotic extreme metal attack.
Vomitando Bilis is a death metal/grindcore band from Madrid, Spain, active since 2010. Their name translating to "vomiting bile," they deliver graphic, visceral extreme metal in the goregrind tradition.
Vomitarte is a grindcore band from Puente Alto, Santiago, Chile, formed around 2018–2019. The band debuted with a rehearsal demo in 2019 and appeared on a three-way split that same year alongside Cannibal Witch and Tra Le Fauci.
Vomiturgy is a death metal/grindcore band from Béziers, France, active since 1996. With nearly three decades of activity, they are one of the more enduring extreme metal acts in the Languedoc underground.
Charlotte, North Carolina's Votnut have been grinding since 2012, building a catalogue of short, furious grindcore that has no patience for anything that doesn't immediately attack. The band fits squarely within grindcore's tradition of radical brevity and maximum intensity, with songs that land like a series of quick body blows. More than a decade into their existence, they remain a stubborn fixture in the Southeast underground.
