A long-running death metal act out of Los Angeles, Entety has spent over a decade honing a sound that draws on the California underground — bludgeoning riffs delivered with a workmanlike ferocity that keeps the focus squarely on the music. Active since 2012.
Firmly rooted in black metal, this British act delivers dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice without compromise. They've been at it since 2025, and atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.
Blackened death metal act from the Kunzelsau/Ohringen area of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, later based in Heilbronn, active since 2017. Their German name, meaning "de-spirited," captures the soul-stripping ferocity of their blackened death metal.
Buffalo's harsh winters seem to seep directly into Enthauptung's atmospheric black metal — frigid, bleak, and expansive in equal measure, the project wraps raw black metal fury in layers of cold ambience that feel distinctly like a Lake Erie storm. Active since 2014.
Greenville, South Carolina's Enthean operates at the intersection of technical death and black metal, crafting dense, labyrinthine compositions that demand repeated listening to fully unpack. Their cerebral approach sets them apart from the straightforward brutality of regional peers.
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.
