A product of Russia's vast and intense metal underground, this Saint Petersburg-based death metal, melodic death metal, and metalcore act channels percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Active since 2014, low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
Equilibriumm is a black metal band from Neuquén, Patagonia, Argentina, formed around 2001 with themes drawn from dark poetry, medievalism, and gothic imagery. The band released their debut demo Night's Supremacy in 2002 and performed at the 2004 Death Tour alongside Colombian band Massacre, with members operating under aliases including Suicidal Corpse and Black Flames.
Heavy Ritual Dark Ambient from Plano.
Power metal and progressive metal band from Pula in Istria, Croatia active since 2010. They deliver epic, technically ambitious metal from the ancient Roman city.
Equinoxem is a symphonic gothic metal band from Buenos Aires whose esoteric and occult lyrical themes are matched by orchestral arrangements and dual clean/harsh vocal interplay. The band released their debut album Prophecies of Soul in March 2011, followed by Nightgenesis in April 2015, the latter featuring Matt Tallón on guitar and harsh vocals alongside Ashe Alder on clean vocals.
Pittsburgh's Equipoise stand at the sharpest edge of technical/progressive death metal, weaving contrapuntal guitar work and shifting time signatures into compositions of genuine compositional depth. Their 2019 debut established them as one of the most intellectually demanding acts in the genre.
Heavy Dark Ambient (early); Techno / EBM (later) from Dallas (early)/San Antonio (later).

New Jersey progressive death metal newcomers formed in 2023, Equivocator build dense, shifting arrangements from Middletown that betray a sophisticated approach to song architecture well beyond their short existence.
