Sacramento's Embodied Torment have spent over a decade refining a brutal death metal approach that balances technical execution with sheer savagery. Formed in 2010, they are one of the defining acts of Northern California's underground brutal death scene.
Dickson, Tennessee's Embodiment bring brutal death metal to a corner of the South not often associated with the genre's extremity. Active since 2015, they pursue maximum heaviness with the single-minded intensity that defines the style at its best.
Embodiment was a melodic death metal band from La Plata, Argentina, whose lineup included vocalist Nicolas Daddona, guitarist Pablo Muras, bassist Martín Aliverti, drummer Eduardo Turco, and keyboardist Diego Astrada. The band released their sole album Words Like Violence in 2006 on Immune Records, drawing comparisons to Scandinavian melodic death metal while incorporating keyboards into their sound.
Nevada's Embodiment of Onslaught operate at the brutal convergence of slam, deathcore, and brutal death metal, delivering a sound designed to overwhelm. Formed in 2016, the band weaponizes each subgenre's heaviest qualities into a unified battering force.
Ripping Brutal Death Metal from Austin.
Devastating Death Metal (early); Deathcore (mid); Alternative Rock / Nu-Metal (later) from Arlington.
Southampton, United Kingdom — brutal death metal and death metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2020, they deal in punishing grooves interlocked with frenzied tremolo passages. Primal ferocity drives every note of their catalog.
The British city of Glasgow serves as headquarters for this death metal operation, whose arsenal includes suffocating heaviness anchored by rumbling low-end. Each release doubles down on cavernous production and churning tremolo work.
Birmingham's Embr move at the pace of deep Southern heat, spinning out heavy, narcotic stoner doom that suits Alabama's geography. Since 2016, the band has cultivated a sound that's equal parts psychedelic haze and gravitational pull.
