Doodlebob

Encinitas, CA, US · 2015–present · active
Encinitas, California's Doodlebob have been running their death-grind operation since 2015, injecting the San Diego County scene with the kind of short, savage blasts the subgenre demands. The juxtaposition of a cartoon-adjacent name against grinding death metal brutality is part of the genre's long tradition of absurdist irreverence — but the music itself pulls no punches. Fast, ugly, and unafraid to be ridiculous, they are a product of Southern California's deep grindcore underground.

Izhevsk, RU · 2014–present · active

Doom Blade

Denver, CO, US · 2019–present · active
Denver's Doom Blade formed in 2019 at the collision of power metal's soaring melodicism and thrash's neck-snapping aggression, a combination that gives their music an operatic ferocity. Colorado's high-altitude metal scene has long punched above its weight, and Doom Blade's hybrid approach adds a distinct flair to that tradition. They sit in the lineage of bands who believed epic storytelling and bruising riffs were never mutually exclusive.
