Decaying Delights is an industrial metal/grindcore band from Vantaa, Finland, emerging in 2026. They blend industrial harshness with grindcore's frenetic extremity.
Chicago's Decaying Morality announced themselves in 2024 with a brutal death/grindcore assault that hits like the city's El train at 2 AM — loud, relentless, and indifferent to your suffering. A new addition to the Windy City's already formidable extreme metal tradition.
A grindcore project born in 2025 with no fixed location and nothing but speed and hostility to offer, Decayment represents the genre in its purest, most portable form. Short songs, short patience, and absolutely no interest in your attention span.
Decrabitation is a death metal/grindcore band from Leipzig, Germany, formed in 2022. They deliver ferocious blasts of death metal and grindcore with relentless intensity.
Crown Point, Indiana's Decrypt have been merging technical death metal's precision with grindcore's ferocity since 2002, making them one of the longer-running acts in the region's extreme underground. Two decades in, the attack has only sharpened.
Allentown goregrind act Decumposer have been churning out filth and noise since 2020, delivering the genre's most deliberately repulsive aesthetic with a lo-fi enthusiasm that borders on gleeful. Pennsylvania's contribution to the worldwide gore underground.
Dedth plays brutal death metal and grindcore from Moscow, active since 2016 and whose deliberately misspelled name strips even the word "death" of its proper form. Their lo-fi, aggressive approach matches the chaotic energy of their mangled spelling.
Deep Dirty is a goregrind band from Lower Saxony, Germany, formed in 2018. They wallow in the filthiest extremes of goregrind with gleeful depravity.
Chicago's Deep in Shit have been running death metal, grindcore, and hardcore through a meat grinder since 2013, producing short, furious assaults with no room for mercy.
