Death and gothic metal band from Nachrodt in the Sauerland region of Germany, formed in 2018. They blend the aggression of death metal with the dark atmospheres and melodic sensibility of gothic metal.
Cemetery Lights is a black metal project from Rhode Island with a cold, minimalist character, favoring repetitive tremolo riffing, distant echoing vocals, and an occult atmosphere rooted in the more primitive and meditative strand of American underground black metal.
Cemetery Lust is a black/thrash metal band from Portland, Oregon, combining the raw savagery of first-wave black metal with the speed and riff aggression of classic thrash in the tradition of Venom, Midnight, and Toxic Holocaust — mean-spirited, filth-forward, and built for speed.
Cemetery Moon is a black metal band from Danbury, Connecticut, crafting cold and melodic black metal with stark tremolo work and lo-fi rawness drawn from the grimmer, more atmospheric side of the Scandinavian second-wave tradition.
Cemetery Piss is a black metal band from Baltimore, Maryland, with a deliberately crude, anti-polished aesthetic rooted in the punk-inflected underground tradition of bands like Bone Awl — raw, confrontational, and stripped down to the most primitive black metal essentials.
Cemetery Reign is a death metal band from New Mexico, delivering straightforward, riff-centric old-school death metal with a direct and aggressive approach, brutal rhythmic pounding, and guttural vocal delivery from one of the more isolated outposts of the American underground.
Metalcore band from Darwen in Lancashire, England, active since 2013. They deliver heavy breakdowns and dynamic songwriting from northern England.
Cemetery Rot is a death metal band from Bakersfield, California, drawing from the Swedish and Finnish old-school traditions with a heavy reliance on buzzsaw guitar tone, gut-punch riffing, and the morbid energy of early Dismember and Entombed.
Cemetery Shade is a death metal band from Broward County, Florida, emerging from the same South Florida scene that spawned the genre's founding acts, with a mid-paced, thick-riffed sound rooted in the Floridian tradition of early Obituary and Death.
