Dead in Montana is a sludge metal/hardcore band from Mataró, Spain, active since 2012. They fuse sludge metal's crushing weight with hardcore's raw intensity from the Catalan coast.
Atlanta's Dead in the Dirt traffic in the rawer side of grindcore and powerviolence, delivering blasts of concentrated aggression from the Georgia capital since 2013. Minimal fat, maximum spite.
Philadelphia's Dead in the Face have been dealing out death metal and grindcore in the City of Brotherly Love since 2003, building a two-decade catalogue rooted in northeast American extremity. Their longevity is a testament to the region's uncompromising underground.
Dead in the Water is a band from Hämeenlinna, Finland, active since 2013, whose sound evolved from hardcore into melodic doom/death metal. Their transformation reflects a deepening embrace of heavy, melancholic metal.
Dallas's Dead Industry fuse industrial metal's cold mechanical precision with death metal's organic brutality, crafting something machine-like and monstrous from the heart of North Texas since 2015. Their sound is as relentless as the city's sprawl.
Knoxville, Tennessee's Dead Injun brew crust punk's anarchic grime with sludge metal's suffocating weight, forged since 2013 in the Appalachian underground. Their sound feels like the mountains themselves — immovable, ancient, and full of grit.
Kentucky's Dead Inside have been delivering old-school death metal with straightforward brutality since 2013, keeping the genre's core values alive in the Bluegrass State. No frills, no filler — just death metal done right.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Dead Is Dead approach post-metal as architecture — building slow, ponderous structures that collapse under their own weight since 2017. The city's industrial heritage bleeds into every rumbling, drawn-out passage.
Tucson, Arizona's Dead Is He combine death metal's brutality with thrash's kinetic precision, channeling the Sonoran Desert's harsh extremes into punishing riff-driven attacks since 2016. There's nothing gentle about the sound or the landscape.
