Flesh Parade have been grinding away in New Orleans' extreme music scene since 1990, delivering a savage fusion of grindcore and death metal in a city better known for sludge. Their Relapse Records release 'Kill Whitey' established them as one of the few grindcore acts to emerge from the Crescent City's swampy musical ecosystem. After setbacks including Hurricane Katrina, the band persevered through decades of underground dedication to their craft.
Fleshgrind formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1993 when guitarist and vocalist Rich Lipscomb and drummer Dave Barbolla united to play brutal death metal rooted in early Suffocation and Mortician. Their 1993 demo Holy Pedophile circulated widely in the underground, selling over 2,500 copies and securing a deal with Pulverizer Records, which released the debut full-length Destined for Defilement (1997). The band delivered two further albums, The Seeds of Abysmal Torment (2000) and Murder Without End (2003), before disbanding in 2005, leaving behind a catalog that remains a reference point in the Chicago brutal death metal underground.
Full of Hell formed in Ocean City, Maryland in 2009 — taking their name from an Entombed song — under vocalist Dylan Walker, guitarist Spencer Hazard, and drummer Dave Bland, initially working in a hardcore and powerviolence framework before absorbing death metal, noise, and experimental elements over successive releases. Their catalog includes six studio albums, from Roots of Earth Are Consuming My Home (2011) through Coagulated Bliss (2024), alongside notable collaborative records with Japanese noise artist Merzbow, sludge outfit the Body, and doom act Primitive Man. Their 2017 album Trumpeting Ecstasy, released on Profound Lore, is widely considered a high point of contemporary extreme metal's intersection with noise and grindcore.
