Richmond's Empty Hands collide hardcore's blunt-force urgency with sludge metal's grinding weight, a bruising combination forged in a city with deep roots in both traditions.
Salem, Oregon's Empty Tomb meld thrash riffing with hardcore urgency, a relentless Pacific Northwest hybrid that hits fast and leaves little room to breathe.
Aurora, Illinois outfit En Masse arrived in 2020 with a collision of thrash, death metal, and hardcore that hits with the frantic urgency of a pit catching fire mid-set.
Dallas' End Times evolved from hardcore roots into a volatile blend of death metal, thrash, and hardcore crossover — the kind of band whose evolution mirrors the city's own heavy music scene expanding outward in every direction. Formed in 2010, they've grown harder and heavier with time.
Endrah is a São Paulo, Brazil band playing a self-described fusion of death metal, thrash, and hardcore — billed as "Extreme Fight Metal" — founded in 2002 under the name INK before adopting the Endrah name in 2004. The band has headlined eight national tours of Brazil, supported acts including Hatebreed and Brujeria, and released their third full-length album "Bloodshed and Violence" in February 2025.
Pittsburgh's Enemy Mind has been fusing death metal ferocity with hardcore aggression since 2012, delivering concise, brutally direct assaults. Their music carries the confrontational urgency of the city's underground hardcore scene driven through a death metal lens.
Pittsburgh's Enfilade has been carving out a niche at the intersection of death metal and hardcore since 2011, combining guttural heaviness with the straight-ahead ferocity of the city's underground scene. Their approach strips both genres down to their most lethal essentials.
Enot is a heavy/speed metal and hardcore band from San Pedro, Buenos Aires province, active since 2006 and signed to Escoria Records. The band contributed tracks to several Argentine underground compilations, including appearances on Ultrametal CD (1995), Hardcore Sin Fronteras Tape (1997), and Tributo a La Polla CD (2002) under an earlier formation, before reforming in 2019.
El Cajon's Enthrallment has been fusing death metal and hardcore since 1999, channeling the San Diego underground's pit-ready intensity into a hybrid that hits with the pummeling directness of both genres and the compromise of neither.
