Flint, Michigan — a city with no shortage of hard edges — gave rise to this Genocide, a band that fuses thrash velocity with death metal's pulverizing low end. The combination is as unforgiving as you'd expect from the city's industrial decay.
Genocide are a heavy/thrash metal band from Vorarlberg, Austria, whose Bandcamp page is shared with the American death metal act Genocide Pact—the two are unrelated. The Vorarlberg outfit works in a classic thrash and heavy metal mold typical of the Austrian regional underground scene.
Genocide Doctrine is a death metal and grindcore act from Roskilde, Denmark, formed in 2022, delivering extreme, politically charged metal from the historic Viking city. The band combines death metal's brutality with grindcore's chaotic speed.
Genocide Generator is a Bavarian grindcore project active since 2013, self-described as "grindustrial" with a sound built on 50%+ blastbeats blended with industrial, noise, and cybergrind elements. Their albums I (2013) and III (2017) were recorded at DeepDeepPressure Studios, delivering a distinctively aggressive industrial-grind hybrid.
Genocide Goose is a black metal band from Malmö, Sweden, formed in 2024 and forging dark extremity from Sweden's third-largest city. The project channels raw aggression through its black metal framework.
Genocide Kvlt is a black metal project from Lubsko in western Poland, formed in 2025. They deliver raw black metal from the Lubuskie Voivodeship near the German border.
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.
