Deathsecution plays black/thrash metal from Bucharest, formed in 2025 and bringing the newest wave of Romanian extreme metal to the capital's underground. Their name's fusion of death and execution signals a punishing, penalty-driven approach to blackened thrash.

Chicago's Deathspade hit the ground in 2024 digging up a three-way hybrid of thrash, death, and black metal that sounds as uncompromising as the city's February wind. Raw and immediate, they've come out swinging with no interest in subtlety.
Deathspawn is a death metal band from Slupsk, Poland, formed in 2020. The project channels aggressive death metal from the Pomeranian coast.
Riverside's Deathspell grafts the corrosive energy of black metal punk onto a Southern California underground framework, arriving in 2021 with a sound that's more street-level filth than cathedral grandeur. Mean, fast, and stripped to the bone.
