Tennessee's Impaled Divinity arrived in 2023 playing slam and brutal death metal in one of the genre's least expected zip codes — grotesque, low-tuned, and mercilessly heavy.
Welsh metal band from Rhyl on the North Wales coast, active since 2011, evolving from early crossover/punk origins into melodic death metal and metalcore. Their stylistic shift reflects a maturation toward more technically demanding metal.
Impaled Eyes is a groove metal/metalcore band from Wolfenbuttel, Germany, formed in 2018, fusing the rhythmic crunch of groove metal with the breakdowns and intensity of metalcore. The band delivers punishing modern metal from the historic Lower Saxon town.
Rochester's Impalement channels progressive metal's technical ambition through a thrash metal lens, resulting in compositions that sprawl and mutate without ever sacrificing aggression.
Crawling out of La Puente since 2020, Impalement drag death metal into suffocating doom territory, piling on rot and weight in equal measure. Their sound sits somewhere between a funeral procession and a cave-in.
Saint Paul's Impaler have been sharpening their blades since 2014, channeling the raw voltage of speed metal through the no-nonsense attitude of classic heavy metal. Think leather and lightning in the upper Midwest.
Austin hardcore punk. Raging fast punk with a metallic edge.
Imparity is a doom metal band from Bochum, Germany, formed in 2019, crafting monolithic, slow-motion compositions from the heart of the Ruhr industrial belt. The band's crushing, deliberate sound draws from the towering smokestacks and heavy industry that define their surroundings.
Impasse is a melodic death metal band from Zaragoza, Spain, active since 2013, building sweeping melodic passages over death metal foundations from the Ebro Valley. Over a decade, the band has refined their approach to emotionally resonant extremity.
