A newcomer to Baltimore's death metal circuit, Eternal Pariah arrived in 2022 with a no-frills brutality that owes as much to the city's hardcore roots as it does to old-school DM.
Rising from Taylorville, Illinois in 2021, Eternal Phoenix plays traditional heavy metal with a reverence for the form — anthemic riffs, soaring leads, and the stubborn spirit of the Midwest.
Death 'n' roll act from Berlin, Germany, fusing the guttural aggression of death metal with rock 'n' roll swagger since 2020. Their approach channels the groove and attitude of rock through death metal's extreme framework.
Eternal Putrefaction was a death metal band from Tupã, São Paulo, Brazil. The band released their debut album "Onslaught" in 2016 through Kill Again Records, a Brazilian underground metal label.
Chicago's Eternal Recurrence only surfaced in 2026, but their symphonic metal ambitions are already large — orchestral grandeur layered over heavy guitar work in the Windy City tradition of going big.
Power metal act from Bremen in northern Germany, formed in 2024, crafting anthemic, melody-driven compositions. Their regal name reflects the triumphant, commanding quality of their approach to European power metal.

Boonsboro, Maryland's Eternal Ruin has been sharpening a brutal death metal sound since 2022 — relentless double-bass patterns driving riffs designed to flatten everything in their path.
