Omaha's Entranced has been weaving progressive gothic and doom metal together since 2021, building a sound that's as emotionally nuanced as it is heavy — mournful melodies, shifting dynamics, and a songwriting sensibility that favors atmosphere over brute force.
St. Louis thrash act Entranced has been grinding out aggressive, no-frills thrash metal since 2021, carrying the city's working-class metal tradition into sharp, precise riffwork and a no-mercy attitude toward tempo. The Gateway City's underground doesn't soften edges.
Chicago's Entrancemperium channels ferocious, orthodox black metal through a project that started in 2024 but sounds rooted in decades of genre tradition — raw production, relentless hostility, and a devotion to black metal's most uncompromising principles.
Entrancemperium is a black metal project from Punta Arenas, Chile — a city the band describes as "the end of the world" in reference to its remote location at the southern tip of the continent. Formed in January 2020, the band released their debut DEMO MMXXIV in February 2024, a two-track instrumental release in the black metal tradition.
Formed in 2021, Entrantment operates in the borderland between black and death metal where both genres' most savage qualities converge — the icy malevolence of the former pressed hard against the visceral brutality of the latter, with no territory conceded to either.
Franklinville, New Jersey's Entrapment has been delivering old-school death metal since 2010 with an authenticity that traces directly back to the genre's late-eighties and early-nineties roots — murky production, serpentine riffs, and a genuine reverence for the craft.
Crust and death metal hybrid from Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic, fusing D-beat punk energy with death metal's guttural heaviness since 2019. Their approach draws from both genres' most raw and aggressive elements.
Progressive black/post-metal project from Leipzig, Germany, formed in 2024, pushing the boundaries of extreme metal through ambitious, atmospheric compositions. Their approach merges the intensity of black metal with the textural depth of post-metal and progressive structures.
Nova Gorica, Slovenia — death metal and melodic death metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 1999, they deal in percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
