Ohio's Deadfuck deliver metalcore with the blunt, unpretentious energy of the Midwest's DIY circuit, formed in 2018 and not especially interested in impressing anyone who isn't already in the pit. The name alone tells you everything about their philosophy.
Deadly Intention is an Ostrava-based act fusing crossover, grindcore, and death metal into a hyperaggressive cocktail of extreme sonic violence. Active since 2018, they draw from Moravia's industrial landscape for an uncompromising sound that leaves no survivors.
Dallas's Deadtooth throw crossover thrash, death metal, and grindcore into a blender and dare you to keep up — messy, fast, and completely uninterested in making it easy on the listener. Since 2009, they've been one of the DFW underground's most chaotically reliable exports.
Elizabeth, New Jersey's Deadworld blend blackened deathcore into a suffocating whole, treating melody as a rumor and atmosphere as a weapon since 2015. Their music sounds as grim and industrially corroded as their city's waterfront skyline.
Lexington, Kentucky's Deanimator grind together death metal, thrash, and grindcore with economical brutality and no interest in genre purity since 2013. Short, fast, and built to destroy.
Denver's Death of Self grind with relentless hostility, compressing maximum chaos into minimum runtime in the true grindcore tradition. Since 2016, they've been one of Colorado's most ferocious blasts of controlled noise.
Death On/Off is a death metal and grindcore band from Ferrara, Italy, formed in 2012. With releases like 'Disharmonic Mass Destruction' and splits with Grumo, the band delivers raw and provocative extreme metal that fuses death metal, grindcore, and hardcore punk.
Death Slam is a veteran grindcore and death metal band from Taguatinga, near Brasília, Brazil, active since the early 1990s and one of the longest-running extreme acts from the country's capital region. The band has released albums including "Smash the Power" (1998) and "Brazilian Disaster" (2004) and engages with political themes throughout their discography, with members including vocalist Fellipe CDC, guitarist Adélcio, bassist/vocalist Itazil, and drummer Ademir.
Deathbound is a death metal/grindcore band from Tampere, Finland, active since 2008. They deliver relentless extremity from Finland's industrial heartland.
