Melodic death metal act from Munich, Germany, crafting harmonically rich, aggressive compositions since 2019. Their approach brings Scandinavian-influenced melodic death metal to Bavaria's capital city.
Gainesville, Texas's Entormus has been cultivating raw, uncompromising black metal since 2013 — a small-town project forged in isolation that translates into music with a genuinely feral quality, free from the self-consciousness of larger urban scenes.
Long Island's Entorturement brings a fresh wave of brutal death metal ferocity to New York's extreme underground since 2025, stacking guttural vocals and skin-flaying riffs with the kind of no-apologies violence the subgenre was built for.
Death/thrash metal act from the historic Rhine city of Speyer, Germany, delivering aggressive crossover extremity since 2011. Their approach fuses death metal's guttural heaviness with thrash metal's high-speed precision.
Portland's Entoxikutioner inject thrash metal with a potent dose of punk aggression, forming a crossover hybrid since 2015 that is fast, filthy, and uninterested in nuance — the kind of band that makes small venue shows feel genuinely dangerous.
Black metal act from Brno, Czech Republic, channeling visceral, uncompromising darkness since 2013. Their graphically evocative name reflects the genre's fascination with decay and mortality.
Grindcore and death metal act from the Baltic port city of Rostock, Germany, delivering chaotic blasts of extreme noise since 2004. Their two-decade career of visceral, grinding extremity makes them a veteran force in northeastern Germany's underground.
Black metal act from Pontoise near Paris, France active since 2018. They channel blasphemous black metal from the northern suburbs of the French capital.
Pe Ell, Washington — population barely over 600 — has been home to Entrain's black metal since 1994, a rural isolation that feeds directly into their sound: raw, expansive, and shaped by the vast quiet of deep Pacific Northwest timber country.
