Morbid Panzer is a thrash and black metal band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2015. Their releases including Demo MMXV and the Only the Total Death EP deliver blackened thrash metal aggression with militant intensity.
Morbid Perversion channel the spirit of Brazilian extremity — Sarcófago, Sex-trash, Holocausto — through a bestial black/death metal attack soaked in sadism and anti-religious perversion. Founded by guitarist/vocalist Sexxxtrash and drummer Lunatic, the band spent a decade releasing tapes and 7" vinyl before collecting that material on the 2021 retrospective Morbid Skills of Evil (A Decade of Desecration), followed by Infamous Dogmas of Sacrifice in 2023.
Morbid Pest is a black metal project from Ravenna, the city of Byzantine mosaics, active since 2009. The project channels plague imagery and pestilent atmosphere into raw, aggressive black metal.
Morbid Prophecy blend melodic black and death metal in the vein of Scandinavian acts, as evidenced by their recorded cover of Rotting Christ's "Among Two Storms." Their 2018 EP Thou Shalt Die, released through Narcoleptica Productions, showcased five tracks of sweeping, riff-driven extremity that positioned the band as one of the more melodically ambitious acts in the local underground.
South Carolina death metal and grindcore project that surfaced in 2025, blending the gut-punch brevity of grind with the relentless brutality of death metal. An extremely new entry into the underground, their Bandcamp presence signals a raw and confrontational approach.
Sioux Falls, South Dakota heavy metal band formed in 2022 that bridges hard rock sensibility with traditional heavy metal craft. A rarity in the South Dakota underground, they represent Sioux Falls pushing into a genre space more commonly associated with larger metropolitan scenes.
New York death/thrash metal project formed in 2023, drawing on the punishing intersection of old-school death metal and thrash ferocity. The Tolkien-referencing name hints at a classic-minded approach to a genre combination that never goes out of style.
Springfield, Missouri thrash metal band that has been operating since 2017, bringing hard-hitting, riff-driven thrash to the Missouri underground. Their straightforward thrash approach in a city not typically associated with the genre makes them a notable outlier in the Midwest metal scene.
Morbid Rituals is a black and doom metal project from Germany, formed in 2022, operating under the creed "only death is real." They channel first-wave black metal and doom traditions into crushing, primitive extremity.
