DEgITx is a unique power metal and chiptune fusion project from Minsk, Belarus, created by a composer-programmer who blends 8-bit chiptune aesthetics with rock and metal instrumentation.

Raleigh's Degloved traffic in black metal filtered through a noise music sensibility, a pairing that emerged from their 2020 formation into something genuinely harsh and confrontational. The North Carolina underground has fostered plenty of experimentally minded extreme acts, and Degloved fits comfortably in that lineage — abrasive, atmospheric, and deliberately uncomfortable.
This Degloved — distinct from the Raleigh noise/black metal outfit sharing their name — formed in 2020 operating in the death metal and deathcore space, where breakdowns and blastbeats coexist in controlled devastation. With no listed location, they're an entity defined entirely by their sound: heavy, downtuned, and engineered to flatten.
Degola is a thrash metal band from Brasília, Brazil, that gained regional and national recognition through their Portuguese-language albums "Corrosão" and "Tormenta." In 2017, following a significant lineup change, the band shifted to English-language material and released "The Age of Chastisement" (2018), broadening their international reach. Their sound draws from classic thrash metal and groove metal traditions.
Degollador is an epic death metal band from Sabadell, Spain, active since 2011. They deliver grandiose death metal with epic scope from the Catalan industrial city.
