Dubuque, Iowa's Mutilated by Zombies arrived in 2018 playing horror-themed death metal from one of the more unlikely corners of the American underground, channeling zombie-fixated B-movie imagery into brutal, grinding riffs.

Mutilated Christ is a Symphonic Black Metal band from Ambato, Tungurahua, Ecuador, founded in June 1994 by guitarist William "Morbo" Mutilator. One of Ecuador's earliest extreme metal acts, the band built an early following with limited-run demos including "Blood of Bastard" (1996), which sold out its initial 66-copy cassette run and was later re-pressed to 500 copies. They remain active and release through Profane Elite, with themes centered on anti-Christianity and satanism.
