Tampa's Eating Infinity fuses groove metal's midtempo swagger with death metal's ferocity — a combination that makes sense coming from a city with Florida death metal in its civic DNA.
Black metal, grindcore, and industrial metal act from Annecy, France active since 2003. They fuse industrial harshness with extreme metal brutality from the Alpine lakeside city.
Portland, Maine's Eave works in the post-black metal space where bleakness becomes almost meditative — depressive and expansive in equal measure, drawing from the cold landscape the state does not lack for.
A 2024-formed Pennsylvania black metal project, Eavernal operates with the rawness and isolation that characterizes much of the American underground, still early but already committed to the form's bleakest registers.
Out of Shenandoah, New York, Eayondig is a brand-new black metal act formed in 2024 whose name is as unusual as their chosen corner of the Hudson Valley — raw, rural, and rooted in the underground.
Kansas City thrashers EALΩ (stylized with Greek letters) have been bringing aggressive, riff-forward thrash metal to the Midwest since 2013, a band whose name stands out in a sea of conventional monikers.
Death metal band from Belgorod in southwestern Russia near the Ukrainian border, formed in 2024. Their sound delivers death metal brutality from the Russian steppe.
Black metal and drone project from Bremen, Germany, blending the tremolo-picked fury of black metal with the sustained, hypnotic textures of drone since 2018. Their name, German for "ebb" or "low tide," evokes the receding, desolate atmosphere of their sound.
Brooklyn's Ebenezer has been working the power/thrash axis since 2011, channeling the twin-guitar bombast of classic power metal through the speed and aggression of thrash in a style that's remained distinct in New York's crowded underground.
