Utrecht Province death metal act formed in 2007 with horrific gore lyrics set to grinding guitars, distorted bass, and blasting drums. Their 2013 EP 'Splatter! Horror! Gore!' on Torn Flesh Records channels classic goregrind and death metal through themes of putrefaction and cannibalism.

GORE. build metalcore around emotional exposure as much as impact. Led by Haley Roughton with guitarist Alex Reyes and bassist Devin, the band arrived with A Bud That Never Blooms, an EP that frames femininity, family strain, grief, and self-denial through crushing riffs and unusually theatrical melodic turns. "Pray," "Babylon," and "Heaven Is Above Me" show how the project shifts from detuned low-end pressure to fragile clean vocals, choral atmosphere, and sudden breakdowns without making those contrasts feel pasted together. Roughton's voice is central: she can sound wounded, confrontational, devotional, or furious, often using melody to make the heavier moments hit harder. The band also pulls from nu metal, shoegaze, and post-metalcore textures, giving the songs more shadow and space than a straight breakdown-driven approach would allow. Later tracks such as "Sepsis" lean further into that dynamic range. GORE.'s strongest material feels personal before it feels polished, using heaviness to expose pain instead of simply decorating it.
Goreamore is a sludge/death metal band from Warsaw, formed in 2022. They deliver heavy, visceral sludge and death metal from the Polish capital.
Los Angeles's Goreatorium drag goregrind's grotesque obsessions through death metal's structural framework since 2016 — blastbeats, guttural excess, and a sense of humor about the whole disgusting enterprise.
Gorebag is a Finnish brutal death metal band formed in 2021, self-described simply as 'Brutal death metal from Finland,' with a prolific catalog including Gorrific Tales from the Slum, Passages of Perversity, and Tethered to the Wicked Domain. Track titles like Regurgitated Eyeball Soup and Amputated and Refrigerated leave no doubt about their commitment to visceral extremity.
