Murder Worship plays uncompromising death metal rooted in violence, anti-Christian themes, and a relentless appetite for brutality. Their catalogue includes the 2013 debut "Hate Celebration", the 2020 EP "Bleeding the Coward", and the 2021 full-length "Doomsday", the latter reissued in 2024 with live bonus tracks from Festival Marreco.
A heavy, speed, and thrash metal act from Vantaa in the Helsinki metropolitan area, Murderaim delivers rapid-fire aggression with a classic metal backbone. Active since 2016, the band combines the velocity of speed metal with thrash's rhythmic precision.
Murderbird is a heavy/groove metal act from Stockholm, active since 2018. The band delivers the kind of predatory, rhythmically charged heaviness their avian name suggests.
A heavy metal act from Trento in the Dolomites, MurderBurg has been delivering classic metal since 2013. The band channels the medieval fortress atmosphere of their Alpine city into driving, aggressive compositions.
Elwood, Indiana's Murderdrome mix the grinding heaviness of death metal with groove metal's thick, mid-paced riff vocabulary, forming a band as blunt as the small-town Midwest landscape they come from. Founded in 2022, they're among the younger acts pushing Indiana's metal scene forward.
Portland, Oregon's Murdered occupy the slam and brutal death metal corner of the Pacific Northwest underground, delivering suffocating low-end and guttural vocals with the kind of dense, physicality-first aesthetic that defines the genre. Formed in 2017, their Bandcamp handle — murderedslam — leaves no ambiguity about their allegiances.
Sacramento metalcore act Murdered by Horses arrived in 2023 with the kind of absurdist menace in their name that belies a genuine commitment to the genre's heavy mechanics. California's capital city has long punched above its weight in aggressive music, and this young band adds to that tradition.
Murdered in the Basement are a death metal and grindcore act whose location remains unknown but whose name and genre placement situate them firmly in the lo-fi, basement-dwelling end of US extreme music. Formed in 2023, they lean into the claustrophobic, DIY aesthetic that the name implies.
A groove metal act from the southwestern Hungarian city of Kaposvár, Murderer has been delivering rhythmically charged heaviness since 2013. The band channels the blunt aggression of their name into crushing mid-tempo riffs.
