A product of Scandinavia's melodic death metal epicenter, this Västerås-based black metal, speed metal, and thrash metal act channels pre-thrash intensity with a melodic edge. Active since 2011, their catalog reveals a band unafraid to explore the darker corners of heavy music.
Death/thrash upstarts from Rochelle Park, New Jersey, Entrenched hit the ground running in 2024 with a sound that splits the difference between old-school brutality and riff-driven thrash aggression.
Arvada, Colorado's most viscerally named act, Entrenched in Epidermal Slippage have been delivering Colorado Brutal Death Metal pulverization since 2017, built on grinding blast work and grotesque low-register riffing.
Moscow-based death metal act, active since 2021 delivering technically precise fretwork wrapped in visceral brutality. Rooted in one of Eastern Europe's most extreme metal communities, their recordings carry the stench of early 90s death metal worship.
When Entro-P emerged in 2020 from Guildford, they brought with them a sound rooted in progressive metal — all genre-bending ambition that refuses easy categorization. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Hailing from the Sierra Nevada foothills of Pine Grove, California, Entropathy bring a classic heavy metal ethos to an area better known for pine trees than power chords, formed in 2019.
Virginia black metal project Entroper emerged in 2025 from Murfreesboro, conjuring icy tremolo-picked atmospheres and misanthropic rawness from the mid-Atlantic interior.
Power metal band from Peraseinajoki in southern Ostrobothnia, Finland, active since 2013. They bring epic power metal from rural western Finland.
Melodic death metal and metalcore act from Berlin and Rostock, Germany, active since 2001. Their deliberate misspelling of "entropy" hints at the controlled chaos within their blend of melodic death metal and hardcore energy.
