Born out of California's extreme underground in 2026, Ddeviatedd slam together brutal death metal and grindcore into an exercise in controlled sonic chaos. Their sound is as much a physical assault as it is a musical statement.

Pittsburgh's Dead by Dawn fuse the gory traditions of death metal with grindcore's brevity and fury — a fitting combination from a city whose industrial grit has long provided fertile ground for extreme music. Short songs, maximum punishment.
Brooklyn's Dead Corpse grind and pummel through a potent mix of grindcore velocity and death metal savagery — a combination well suited to New York City's loud, overcrowded, and relentlessly competitive underground scene.
Greenville, South Carolina's Dead Crustacean apply an experimental lens to grindcore, twisting the genre's blunt-force template into strange, lurching shapes that reward repeated listens. An outlier in the Southeast's metal underground.
