Murder of Reality is a stoner and doom metal band from Hamburg, Germany, formed in 2014. They channel heavy, psychedelic doom through a stoner metal lens of haze-drenched riffs and hypnotic repetition.
Murder Rape Amputate is a goregrind and brutal death metal act from Ostrava, Czech Republic, emerging from the city's underground in 2019 with a discography spanning "Cadaverous Lullabies" through splits and full-lengths. Their visceral sound, self-described as arising from "the putrid depths of Ostrava's underworld," delivers unrelenting extremity across four releases.
Rising from the Salt River Pima–Maricopa Indian Community in Arizona, Murder Rate deal in death metal with the desert's extremity baked in — harsh, unrelenting, and shaped by an environment that doesn't forgive. Formed in 2019, they bring a distinct geographic identity to Arizona's extreme metal scene.
Murder Sermon is a death metal and deathcore act from Rouen in Normandy, delivering crushing compositions since 2016. The band blends the brutality of death metal with the breakdown-heavy approach of deathcore.
A progressive metal act from Kaiserslautern with a tongue-in-cheek name, Murder She Wrote blends technical riffing with unconventional song structures. Formed in 2013, the band pushes beyond the confines of straightforward metal into more adventurous compositional territory.
Portland, Oregon's Murder Stroke have been carving up the grindcore and death metal overlap since 2017, favoring brevity, speed, and a caustic production aesthetic that suits the city's long-running DIY tradition. Short songs, maximum violence.
Murder Therapy is a progressive death and metal act from Bologna that has evolved from their heavier early sound into more adventurous progressive territory since 2008. The band represents the intellectual side of Emilia-Romagna's deep metal underground.
Atlanta death/thrash outfit Murder Van channel the crossover tradition of bands who refused to choose between brutality and velocity, fusing thrash metal's momentum with death metal's tuning and aggression. Active since 2019, they bring that combination to Atlanta's busy metal underground.
