McHenry County, Illinois' Immortum started with thrash and death metal before pivoting toward blacker, more abrasive territory — a band still in flux, following the music wherever it gets darkest.
Immortuos is a death metal band from Marília, São Paulo, Brazil, formed around 2012 by guitarist and vocalist Jabah Contardi, bassist Rogério Pereira, and drummer João Moreira. The trio released the demo "Infanticídio" in 2012 and followed it with the album "Estágio Terminal" in 2014. The band has been on hold since the mid-2010s, leaving behind a compact but focused body of work rooted in old-school death metal.
Immotus is a progressive melodic heavy metal band from Nuremberg, Germany, formed in 2022, weaving intricate progressive arrangements into soaring melodic metal compositions. The band draws from Nuremberg's rich cultural heritage to craft ambitious, dynamic heavy music.
Immured is a death metal/crust-grindcore band from Nuremberg, Germany, active since 2005, delivering two decades of ferocious extremity that merges death metal's guttural brutality with crust punk and grindcore's raw velocity. The band channels Franconia's underground energy into relentless bursts of sonic violence.
Doom metal band from Warwickshire in the English Midlands, active since 2011. Their entombment-referencing name channels crushing doom from Shakespeare's county.
Immurer is a death metal band from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, formed in 2024, forging brutal death metal from the rural Baltic coastland of northeastern Germany. The band represents the newest generation of East German death metal.
Imopectore was a heavy/doom/black metal band from Sorocaba, São Paulo, Brazil, drawing on dark, obscure themes across their self-released material. Operating as an independent underground act, the band blended slow doom weight with black metal atmosphere and traditional heavy metal elements. The project eventually split up after a limited activity period in the Brazilian underground scene.
Imp is a thrash metal band from Muhumaa island, Estonia, formed in 2020, delivering high-speed thrash from one of the Baltic's most remote islands. The band channels the isolation of their island setting into focused, aggressive thrash metal.
Houston's Imp Tea brews stoner and doom metal into a slow, hazy concoction that reflects the city's humid lethargy — heavy enough to crush, loose enough to feel lived-in.
