Death Magic Ritual is a Finnish black metal act formed in 2024, conjuring occult ceremonies through tremolo-driven compositions and blast-beat fury. Their ritualistic name places them in the lineage of Finnish occult black metal that has thrived since the early 1990s.
Raw and unrelenting, Seattle's Death Mantra channel depressive black metal into bleak, suffocating rituals that feel built for the Pacific Northwest's grey skies. Their sound is a cold fog that refuses to lift.
Out of Gallup, New Mexico, Death Mantra bring the desert's isolation to thrash metal — angular, aggressive, and driven by a scrappy Southwest intensity. Formed in 2020, they channel arid fury into pure riff worship.
New York's Death Mask have been thrashing at speed metal's outer limits since 2011, trading in velocity and iron-fisted aggression drawn straight from the NWOBHM playbook. Fast, mean, and ruthlessly concise.
Baltimore's Death Mask trade in heavy, suffocating doom — slow, funereal riffs that feel as weighty as the city's own industrial bones. A brooding presence in the mid-Atlantic underground since 2011.
Springfield, Missouri's Death May Die carry the torch of classic power metal with soaring vocals and anthemic songwriting that refuse any trace of irony. Since 2017, they've been delivering bombastic, earnest heavy metal for the heartland.
Death Maze is a melodic death metal band from Umea, Sweden, formed in 2014. The project channels Scandinavian melodic death metal from northern Sweden.
Death Mex is a thrash metal band from Lahti, Finland, formed in 2015. They deliver fierce thrash metal from the Finnish interior.
Death Mind plays black/thrash metal from Turku, active since 2020 and fusing the mental intensity of black metal with thrash's physical aggression. Their Finnish coastal setting provides a backdrop of maritime cold for music that attacks from both the cerebral and visceral directions.
