Death Exclamations is a location-unknown black metal entity formed in 2020, operating at arm's length from the scene with a raw and uncompromising approach. The band's anonymity feels intentional — just a name, a Bandcamp page, and the music itself.
Death Feast plays black/death/thrash metal from Lisbon, active since 2018 and setting a banquet table of extreme metal drawn from three of the genre's most aggressive branches. Their gluttonous name suits a sound that devours everything in its path.
Dayton, Ohio's Death Fetish have been serving up brutal death metal punishment since 2020, feeding the Midwest underground with punishing slams and guttural vocals. Their approach is unflinching — purely about impact and physicality.
Portland's Death Fetishist operate at the cold, suffocating intersection of black and doom metal, cloaking slow, miserable riff progressions in a haze of dissonance and despair since 2016. Their music is patient and punishing, demanding the listener surrender to the weight.
Crushing Death Metal from Austin.
Death Follows is a progressive metal project from Corfu, Greece, formed in 2019 by multi-instrumentalist Ser Don, who handles vocals, guitars, bass, composition, lyrics, and cover art. The 2021 album Glare & Evelyn combines gothic, blackened, and progressive death metal across fifteen tracks inspired by a fictional narrative the artist is developing.
Los Angeles thrash outfit Death Force have been tearing through the sprawling SoCal metal scene since 2018, channeling the aggression of Bay Area forebears into a modern context. Fast picking, barked vocals, and unapologetically retro riff construction define their sound.
Death from Above is a death metal band from Bayonne, France, formed in 2021. They rain death metal from the Basque coast.
Death Front is a thrash metal project from Syracuse, Sicily, formed in 2020. The project delivers aggressive and dark thrash metal with nihilistic themes from the Sicilian underground.
