Morgue is a goregrind band from Monte Grande, Buenos Aires, whose earliest recordings date to 2000. Their two founding demos — La Legión del Sepulcro (2000) and Instinto Repulsivo (2002) — were later compiled and released on CD as Necro Exhumation, a sixteen-track collection distributed internationally through labels such as Unholy Prophecies and Disembodied Records.
San Antonio's Morgue 22 formed in 2022 playing a thrash-forward death metal hybrid that fits naturally into the Texas scene's tradition of crossover brutality. Their name's numeric suffix distinguishes them in the crowded field of mortuary-themed metal, and their music leans into both genres' taste for speed and aggression.
Garland, Texas brutal death metal act Morgue Bound have been delivering punishing, technically aggressive material since 2018, operating within the Dallas-Fort Worth scene's strong tradition of extreme metal. Their brutal death metal orientation prioritizes density and power over melody, landing squarely in the genre's most uncompromising corner.
Los Angeles death metal and grindcore outfit Morgue Breath have been blending the putrid sensibilities of both genres since 2019, applying grindcore's velocity and brevity to death metal's more crushing sonic palette. The LA underground's appetite for extreme crossover sounds gives them fertile ground.
Ohio's Morgue Dweller emerged in 2022 at the intersection of death metal and goregrind, specializing in the kind of grotesque, fast, and filthy material that both genres' most devoted fans demand. Their goregrind influence adds a particularly absurdist horror-movie dimension to the death metal foundation.
Ripping Brutal Death Metal from Dallas.
A fresh entry from Franklin, Kentucky, Morgue Memoirs launched in 2024 with a death metal approach rooted in old-school grime and decomposing atmospheres, representing a new voice in a historically overlooked state for the genre.
Queen Creek, Arizona's Morgue Molestation hit the scene in 2020 with a brutal death metal attack built on relentless blasting, guttural vocals, and the kind of uncompromising ugliness that leaves little room for subtlety.
A melodic death metal act from Birmingham, Morgue Orgy has been delivering harmonized extremity since 2009. The provocatively named band blends Gothenburg-style melodic death metal with the grit of the British metal underground.
