Mortishead is a death/groove metal act from Portishead near Bristol, active since 2020. The band's name cleverly riffs on their hometown while delivering heavy, rhythmically driven compositions that blend death metal aggression with groove metal's mid-tempo crunch.
Mortom plays a hard-hitting blend of thrash and groove metal from the city that gave the world Sepultura and Sarcófago, drawing naturally from that rich legacy of heaviness. The band released their self-titled debut EP in December 2020, a five-track statement packed with driving riffs and the kind of thick, mid-paced groove that defines the Minas Gerais metal tradition.
Mossfet is a groove metal act from the Utrecht province, formed in 2025. The band delivers thick, rhythmically charged compositions from central Netherlands.
Moth Haven is a thrash/death/groove metal band from Roosendaal, the Netherlands, formed in 2015. They forge aggressive extreme metal at the crossroads of death and thrash.
Mother Maddox is a groove metal and metalcore band from Madrid, Spain, formed in 2020. They fuse groove metal's rhythmic heaviness with metalcore's structural aggression.
Mothercow plays a swaggering mix of southern rock grit and groove metal heaviness, channeling the spirit of Pantera and Down into a distinctly interior São Paulo setting. After a long hiatus, the band returned with their full-length debut "Death Before Defeat" in 2022, followed by the six-track EP "Baptized in Gasoline" in 2024.
MotherStone is a groove metal act from Rome, active since 2015. The band delivers thick, rhythmically charged compositions with a monolithic weight suggested by their name.
Out of Whitney Point in rural upstate New York, Motivational Death merge groove metal's mid-paced swagger with the blunt force of death metal, creating a sound that favors heavy impact over technical display. The band formed in 2021 and embraces a sardonic, wry edge in both name and approach.
Motorized Tarantula is a groove metal band from Solothurn, Switzerland, whose 2015 self-titled debut delivers five tracks of thick, riff-heavy grooves with titles like "Black Widow" and "Burn My Scars." Their sound channels the mid-tempo chug and swagger of groove metal's American architects into a compact Swiss package.
