Murdery is a European death metal band formed in 2015 by musicians from other groups, offering a modern take on classic death metal.

Operating from Jochberg in the Tyrolean Alps since 1990—previously under the name Stage from 1987—Murdock are a heavy metal and hard rock band with a long history in the Austrian underground. The band have persevered independently for over three decades, maintaining an active presence in the Austrian regional metal scene.
Murdock deal in slow, heavy riffs steeped in a 1970s Black Sabbath–rooted stoner doom tradition, with a psychedelic edge that the band describes as exploring dark earth rather than outer space. Their 2021 EP "Entre Tigres e Lobos" showcases the quartet's knack for mood-saturated songwriting, and the track "Olhos Sinistros" — a lo-fi, crushing meditation on a bloodthirsty mythical creature — has become a fan favourite.
Chicago heavy metal act Murdock 13 have been operating in the city's sprawling metal underground since 2017, playing traditional heavy metal with the directness and confidence that a city like Chicago demands. The number 13 in the name sets the tone — bad luck runs through the music.
