Death Pulsation is a death metal band from Stockholm, Sweden, formed in 2025. The project delivers aggressive death metal from the Swedish capital.
Death Racer is a black and speed metal band from Linz, Austria, whose lineup includes vocalist Johnny Brise, guitarist Bruce Pirelli, bassist Jörg Müller, and drummer Niki Louder. Albums Qualifying (2020) and From Gravel to Grave (2024) carry a consistent motorsport theme — track titles such as "Nordschleife," "Racers of Death," and "Motormentor" fuse the band's love of racing with high-octane blackened speed metal.
Death Rattle Disco is a metalcore/thrash metal band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2022. They combine metalcore's modern intensity with thrash metal's riffing prowess.
West Monroe's Death Rattler emerged from the Louisiana underground in 2022 with melodic black metal that threads atmospheric grandeur through the bayou state's innate sense of darkness. Their hooks bite hard beneath a wash of blackened tremolo.
Massachusetts' Death Ray Vision have been laser-focused on the hardcore/thrash crossover since 2011, delivering short, furious blasts that owe as much to the Boston hardcore scene as to Bay Area riff worship. Blunt, fast, and unapologetically angry.
Death Reapers is a melodic death metal and thrash metal band from Przytoczna, Poland, formed in 2020. The project channels aggressive melodeath and thrash from the Lubusz region.
Death Receipt is a thrash/groove metal band from Tunzenberg, Germany, formed in 2022. They deliver heavy grooves and razor-sharp thrash riffs from the Bavarian underground.
Sarasota's Death Requisite have been perfecting melodic death metal in the Florida heat since 2011 — combining Scandinavian melody with the Sunshine State's inherent brutality into something with real staying power. Equal parts carnage and craft.
Death Revelation is a raw black metal project from Minsk, Belarus, whose 2020 debut 'Apokatastasis' features deliberately lo-fi production as an artistic choice. The two-track release delivers unpolished, crushing black metal with tracks exceeding six minutes of atmospheric devastation.
