Streetsboro, Ohio's Entity of Extinction weaponizes technical death metal and grindcore together, pushing both toward their logical extremes — the precision of the former sharpened by the speed and fury of the latter. Active since 2014 and unrelenting throughout.
Raw black metal solo project from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, releasing lo-fi, stripped-down black metal since 2013. Their two-track debut "Unknown" channels a deliberately primitive, noise-drenched approach to the genre.
Black metal project from Germany, active since 2015, whose name evokes the antithesis of Christ. Their approach channels the genre's most blasphemous and uncompromising tendencies through raw, atmospheric compositions.
Seattle's Entmoot — named after the deliberate gathering of Tolkien's Ents — moves with measured, crushing intention through stoner and sludge metal, building monolithic riffs that reward patience. A young band with an ancient weight to their sound.
Salt Lake City's Entomb the Wicked has been bridging death metal and deathcore since 2015, bringing Utah's underrated heavy scene to bear on a sound that's both crushing and technically accomplished. Proof that the Mountain West has teeth.
Exploring the depths of death metal, this Swedish outfit from Stockholm has been refining their craft since 1990. Their sound hinges on suffocating heaviness anchored by rumbling low-end, delivered with ruthless intent.
Entombed A.D. formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 2014 after vocalist Lars-Göran Petrov and guitarist Nico Elgstrand were forced to operate under a new name following a legal dispute over the Entombed trademark. Carrying forward the death 'n' roll style pioneered on Wolverine Blues, the band released Dead Dawn (2016) and Bowels of Earth (2019) before Petrov's death from cholangiocarcinoma in March 2021 brought the project to a close. As direct continuers of one of Sweden's most influential death metal lineages, their catalog preserved the buzzsaw guitar tone and hard rock swagger that defined Swedish death metal's second wave.
Vicious Thrash Metal out of Texas.
Vienna, Virginia's Entongue blends death and doom into a suffocating combination since 2022, letting funeral-paced heaviness collide with the morbid drive of death metal in a way that makes each track feel like a slow descent into something inescapable.
