Waupaca, Wisconsin's Deathagent bring groove metal's knuckle-dragging rhythmic lockstep to a small-city scene that rarely gets credit for the heaviness it produces. They've been drilling that mid-tempo pocket into the ground since 2016.
Deathalation is a thrash/groove metal band from Bochum, Germany, formed in 2015. They hammer out groovy, aggressive thrash from the heart of the Ruhr region.
Deathalium plays groove metal from Lappeenranta near the Russian border, active since 2019 and delivering heavy, rhythm-driven compositions from eastern Finland. Their name's chemical-element styling suggests a newly discovered heavy element — appropriately, given the weight of their sound.
New York's Deathalizer play thrash metal with the blunt efficiency of a scene that's always had something to prove — riff-forward, aggressive, and uninterested in compromise since 2020.
Boston's Deathamphetamine have been splicing death and thrash metal into a single hyperactive organism since 2004, their two-decade tenure making them one of the longer-running acts in the city's underground. The name tells you everything about the tempo.
Chicago's Deathandserenity work in the atmospheric space where post-black metal softens into something closer to melancholy — bleak but not entirely without light, and fully rooted in the city's expansive underground. Active since 2018.
Deathawaits is a death/thrash metal and deathcore band from Lyon, France, active since 2011. They merge death/thrash with deathcore from southeastern France.
Deathbale is a melodic death metal band from Bavaria, Germany, active since 2009. They craft melodic death metal with a long-standing commitment to the genre's emotional power.
DeathBanger is a speed/thrash metal band from Ananindeua, Pará, in the Brazilian Amazon region, formed in 2017. Delivering raw, aggressive thrash with palm-muted riffing and furious vocals, the band released their debut demo "Reborn From The Ashes" in 2018 and a follow-up demo in 2020 featuring tracks such as "Realm Of Death" and "Satan Massacres." They were also featured on the northern Brazilian metal compilation "Coletânea Fúria Nortista Vol. 1," highlighting their role in the underground metal scene of the Amazonian North.
