San Diego death metal band with roots going back to 2011, representing the city's long-running appetite for crushing, riff-driven brutality. Their name and decade-plus lifespan signal a project committed to the old-school death metal tradition rather than any modern reinvention.
Morbid Grave is a death metal band from Denmark, formed in 2021. They channel old-school death metal's filth and fury through crushing, tomb-echoing compositions.
Tampa, Florida three-piece born in 2017 where the city's storied death metal legacy bleeds into a harder-edged cocktail of black metal, heavy metal, and speed metal. They carry the torch of the Florida underground while leaning into the reckless energy of early speed and heavy metal.
Morbid Holocaust is a black metal band from Valparaíso, Chile, operating primarily as a one-man project under the name Holocausto. The band released their debut album Atmospheric Armageddon in 2017, recorded at Calaka Records in Valparaíso, and the full-length Conexiones in 2023, the latter tracked between 2021 and 2023 at IIgniter Studios in Limache; they also contributed to the five-band split En el Caos de la Oscuridad alongside Morgue, Kalkü, Beelzebuth, and Ausencia in 2023.
A death metal act from Uppsala, Morbid Illusion has been delivering dark, crushing compositions since 2015. The band channels the deceptive imagery of their name into suffocating death metal.
Longview, Texas act formed in 2014, stacking technical death metal intricacy on top of a deathcore framework for a sound that is simultaneously punishing and precisely executed. They represent the East Texas underground's willingness to push extremity beyond genre borders.
Morbid Joke is a provocative crossover thrash and grindcore outfit from Rauma, Finland, self-described as 'True Finnish Anti-Music' driven by total disgust towards modern music. Their catalog includes releases like 'Fuck The Mainstream, Here's Morbid Joke' and 'The Disgusting Perversions Of The Bourgeoisie,' delivering intentionally abrasive and confrontational sonic assaults.
San Francisco crossover/thrash band formed in 2021, bringing the Bay Area's storied thrash lineage into collision with punk-tinged crossover energy. A newer entry into a city that practically invented the genre, they inherit that tradition while keeping the tempos and attitude firmly street-level.
A thrash/black metal project from Italy, Morbid Lust has been channeling dark desires into aggressive compositions since 2017. The project pairs the speed of thrash with the cold atmosphere of black metal.
