Boston's Death Strider hit like a cargo train loaded with 1986-era riffs — crossover thrash with genuine menace and a hardcore backbone that keeps it moving fast. Formed in 2022, they arrived fully formed.
A death metal outfit rooted in the Moravian tradition, Death Strike deliver crushing, no-frills brutality that favors density over technical gymnastics. Founded in 2023, they're a young act already locked into a grim, purposeful sound.
Death Structure is a metalcore/deathcore band from Lens, France, formed in 2017. They construct devastating breakdowns from northern France.
Death Struggle plays melodic death metal from Arkhangelsk on the White Sea, active since 2021 and channeling the harsh Arctic climate into compositions that balance melody with mortal combat. Their survival-themed name suits music forged in one of Russia's most inhospitable regions.
Death Support exist where black metal's cold war on the listener meets crust punk's burning-wreckage aesthetic — caustic, confrontational, and deliberately ugly since 2024. The combination feels less like a genre blend and more like a genuine threat.
Death Temple is a blackened death metal band from Salzburg, founded in 2006 and active ever since. Their 2015 full-length Dominion of the Night, with standout tracks "In the Claws of the Harpii" and the title track, sits in the tradition of underground war metal, drawing comparisons to Denouncement Pyre and Embrace of Thorns.
Death the Leveller is an epic doom metal and rock band from Dublin, Ireland, formed in 2017. Their releases include the self-titled debut, A Call to Men of Noble Blood, and the sophomore II, all channeling the grandeur and weight of epic doom.
Death Thrashers Kuopio is a death/thrash metal band from Kuopio, Finland, formed in 2016. They carry their city's name proudly through ferocious death/thrash.
