Neenah, Wisconsin's Deadline play straight-up heavy metal with the no-nonsense attitude of a small Midwest city that doesn't need critical endorsement to rock, formed in 2022 and immediately blunt about their intentions. Less trend, more iron.
Atlanta's Deadlink formed in 2021 threading death metal ferocity through the slow-moving wreckage of sludge and doom, creating something that crawls and bludgeons in equal measure. Their city's heavy scene backs them up.

Deadly Curse is a metal band from Goiânia, in the midwest of Brazil, originally formed in 2005 with the intent of playing aggressive and technical thrash metal before evolving into melodic death metal.

The band remains active and independent, with lyrical themes centered on internal struggles and positivity.
Virginia's Deadly Friend channel heavy metal's classic hard rock instincts into something modern and slightly sinister, the band name's horror-film connotation fitting their occasionally dark sensibility. Formed in 2022, they're still cutting their teeth but clearly know their way around a riff.
