Technical deathcore act from Saint Petersburg formed in 2009, fusing intricate musicianship with punishing breakdowns and extreme vocal delivery. Their ambitious approach pushes deathcore beyond its conventional boundaries through progressive-minded complexity.
Washington state's Genocide Pact is a death metal band that hits with the weight of collapsing infrastructure — slow enough to crush, fast enough to disorient. Since 2013, they've built a reputation for relentless, cavern-heavy brutality.
Formed in Örebro, Sweden in 1994 by Nasum members Mieszko Talarczyk and Richard A.D. alongside Danny Violence and Matt von Superstar, Genocide Superstars played a raucous strain of hardcore punk indebted to Discharge, Motörhead, and the Misfits. The band dissolved following Talarczyk's death in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, a loss that simultaneously ended Nasum. Their recordings remain a raw document of Swedish punk's crossover with rock and roll abandon.
Genocide Terror is a death metal band from Uusimaa, Finland, active since 2015, with releases including the Nerve Gas Holocaust EP and splits with Verpest and Assur among others. Their sound channels relentless, grinding death metal aggression across a steady stream of collaborative and solo releases.
Genocider is a death metal band from Silesia, formed in 2025. They represent the newest generation of Silesian death metal.
Brand new to the Los Angeles scene as of 2025, Genocidist wastes no time merging death metal's gore-soaked riffs with grindcore's frantic, sub-minute assault. Expect short songs, maximum violence, and zero filler.
Lansing, Michigan's Genocya has been weaving black and death metal together since 2011, crafting a sound that swings between icy tremolo passages and down-tuned, guttural extremity. They occupy that punishing middle ground where both genres drag each other deeper into the dark.
Genocídio is a death metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 1986 and recognized as one of the country's early extreme metal forces alongside contemporaries such as Sarcófago and Vulcano. The band's obscure self-titled 1988 EP — later compiled by Nuclear War Now! Productions on "The Grave" (2021) with live tracks and demos — showcases their ferocious early sound, and the group has remained active through albums including "Under Heaven None" (2017) on Urubuz Records.
Genokeit is a Danish black metal project formed in 2018, channeling raw, uncompromising black metal from the Scandinavian underground. The project operates in the tradition of Danish extreme metal.
