Yorktown, Virginia technical death and grindcore band named for a Lovecraftian entity, merging clinical precision with brutal extremity. Cyaegha delivers technically demanding death metal with the frenzied velocity of grind.
Death metal and grindcore band from Potsdam, Germany, active since 2004. With two decades of grinding extremity, Cyness are veterans of the Brandenburg underground.
Boston death/grind band operating in the New England extreme metal underground with an unrelenting approach to brutality and noise. Cynicism attacks with short, punishing blasts of combined death metal and grindcore aggression.
Asheville, North Carolina brutal death and grindcore band piling grotesque extremity onto a foundation of pummeling low-tuned riffs and blast-beat ferocity. Cystic Nourishment weaponizes Appalachian underground intensity through the most unrelenting corners of extreme metal.
D-Compose is a Dutch grindcore act from Amsterdam, active since 2011 and delivering rapid-fire blasts of sonic decomposition. Their hyphenated name neatly describes their musical process: breaking conventional song structures down to their most volatile, fragmented elements.
D.D.T. is a death metal/grindcore band from the Midlands, England, formed in 2023. They deliver toxic extremity from the English heartland.
D.E.F.A.M.E. plays goregrind from Kaluga south of Moscow, active since 2015 and delivering the medical-horror-themed sonic carnage that defines the genre. Their acronymic name wraps the defamatory intent of their music in bureaucratic formatting.
D.E.R. is a grindcore band from São Paulo, Brazil, whose name stands for "Desordem e Regresso" (Disorder and Regress), a deliberate inversion of the phrase "Ordem e Progresso" (Order and Progress) found on the Brazilian flag. Self-described as practitioners of "Tropical Grindcore," the band delivers politically charged, high-velocity music and released the full-length "Tempo Severo" in 2026 through Cospe Fogo Gravações.
A different beast entirely from their New York namesake, this Louisiana outfit from Cut Off smears sludge, death metal, and grindcore into something swampy and suffocating. The combination is as caustic as the bayou heat.
