Blackened thrash metal act from the Aalst/Haaltert area in East Flanders, Belgium, hammering out aggressive, punk-infused thrash since 2010. Their approach fuses the speed and venom of thrash with black metal's darkness and first-wave punk attitude.
Black/death/doom metal project from Minsk, Belarus, weaving together three of extreme metal's darkest subgenres since 2019. Their multi-faceted approach creates a dense, suffocating sound that draws from each genre's most oppressive qualities.
Evil Spectrum is a death/thrash metal band from Lima, Peru, active since 2010 and signed to Greek underground label Floga Records. The band has built a steady catalog of EPs and splits, including Evocations upon Ascending Flames (2014), Triumviratus Belli (2016), and Emanation of the Hybris (2021), with themes centered on chaos, evil, and darkness.
Doom/death metal act from Berlin, Germany, conjuring oppressive, supernatural heaviness since 2012. Their spectral name captures the haunting, otherworldly quality of their fusion of doom and death metal.
Evil Survives formed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 2008 as a straightforward traditional heavy metal act, releasing the full-length Metal Vengeance (2008) and Powerkiller (2010) on Heavy Artillery Records before completing extensive touring across North America. The band underwent a vocalist change after the Powerkiller cycle, with Pete Klassen replacing Karl Warkentin, and subsequently released Painslave (2013) as an independent act. Their music adheres firmly to classic heavy metal conventions, referencing the genre's early-1980s template without stylistic concession.
Evil Syndicate is a death/thrash metal band from Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, rooted in the extreme thrash tradition of acts like Sodom, Kreator, and Krisiun. The band released the EP "Hell on Earth" in October 2023 through Green Hell Metal, a three-track assault built around themes of war, destruction, and brutality.
Thrash/groove metal band from Coimbra, Portugal, fusing thrash velocity with groove metal's rhythmic heaviness. Their base in Portugal's historic university city adds intellectual weight to their aggressive sound.
Death/thrash metal act from Madrid, Spain formed in 2019. They channel relentless aggression from the Spanish capital's extreme metal underground.
New Orleans black metal and hardcore outfit Evil Tree has been fusing the city's swamp-soaked darkness with the aggression of hardcore punk since 2022. The NOLA underground has always bred its own mutant strains of heavy music, and Evil Tree channels that local spirit through a black metal lens scraped raw by hardcore's confrontational energy.
