Named after a demon of transformation, Long Island's Haagenti began with melodic death metal roots before evolving into a heavier, more unrelenting death metal sound over their decade-plus existence. Their trajectory mirrors the demonic namesake — a gradual, deliberate shift into something darker.
Melodic death metal and metalcore band from Wolfenbuttel, Germany, formed in 2018. Their polished sound blends Scandinavian-style melodic death metal with the intensity of modern metalcore.

Drawing from Jyväskylä's metal heritage, this melodic death metal outfit channels fierce energy since 2022. Heavy, downtuned riffing and relentless percussion drive their compositions.
Salt Lake City's Hagraven channels the rowdy spirit of black 'n' roll — black metal's blackened edge colliding with hard rock swagger — since their 2023 formation. Against Utah's austere backdrop, they're a wild anomaly.
Santa Rosa, California's Haig Ozanian is both a solo project and a melodic death metal statement, active since 2022 and drawing on the Scandinavian-influenced style's melodic sensibility to craft songs that balance aggression with memorable hooks.
Progressive/doom/melodic death metal band from Irun, Spain, formed in 2023. Their ambitious fusion spans three subgenres, merging progressive complexity with doom weight and melodic death aggression from the Basque-French border.
Reno's Half a Tusk sharpen melodic death metal into something more technical and angular, blending hook-forward songwriting with demanding guitar work since 2013. They're one of Nevada's more distinctive extreme metal acts.
Metalcore and melodic death metal band from Mannheim, Germany, formed in 2022. Their sound bridges the intensity of metalcore breakdowns with the melodic sensibility of Scandinavian-style death metal.
