Filthy Black Metal out of Texas.
Pittsburgh's Entheogen laces symphonic grandeur into deathcore and death metal, building an overpowering wall of sound that juxtaposes orchestral sweep with modern extremity. Formed in 2017, they're one of the more ambitious acts in the city's underground.
Avant-garde doom, drone, and post-metal project from Finland launched in 2025. They push boundaries across multiple heavy subgenres with an experimental, boundary-dissolving approach.
Santa Cruz's Entheos emerged in 2015 as one of progressive deathcore's more technically accomplished acts, blending jazz-influenced rhythmic complexity with modern extremity and the kind of compositional sophistication that earns them fans in multiple metal camps.
Entherror is a black/thrash metal band from São Borja, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2010. The band drew on themes of Satanism, war, and anti-Christianity across their material, and released the EP "Terror That Never Ends" in 2019 through their Bandcamp page.
Waukegan, Illinois's Enthrall has been grinding out death metal since 1993, accumulating three decades of experience that show in a sound which is efficient, undecorated, and thoroughly seasoned. Longevity in this genre is its own kind of credibility.
Out of Fort Thomas, Kentucky, Enthralled channels the cold, misanthropic spirit of black metal with a rawness that suits its small-town origins — stripped-down, hostile, and indifferent to accessibility. Active since 2012.
Death metal band from Geneva, Switzerland, channeling the thrill of being consumed by sonic devastation since 2018. Their name captures the essence of their sound: total submission to the chaos and fury of death metal.
El Cajon's Enthrallment has been fusing death metal and hardcore since 1999, channeling the San Diego underground's pit-ready intensity into a hybrid that hits with the pummeling directness of both genres and the compromise of neither.
