A black metal project from Leipzig, Myasthenia Graves takes its name from the autoimmune neuromuscular disease. Active since 2019, the project channels physical deterioration into dark, wasting black metal compositions.
Formed in Eugene, Oregon in 2022, Mycelium Shroud takes death metal into psychedelic territory, weaving disorienting, fungal-themed atmosphere into their riff work for a sound as unsettling as the organism they invoke.
A death metal act from East Anglia, Mycelium Tomb emerged in 2024 with a sound inspired by fungal decomposition and natural decay. The band's name evokes the underground networks of mycelium that break down dead matter, matching their cavernous, organic approach to death metal.
Metalcore outfit from Madison, Alabama, MyChildren MyBride blends aggressive downtuned riffing with melodic hooks and alternating clean and harsh vocals, drawing from the mid-2000s wave of Southern metalcore.
A brand-new entrant from Seattle's fertile heavy underground, Mycon formed in 2025 and pursues a doom/sludge hybrid rooted in oppressive low-end and glacially paced riffs befitting the gray, rain-soaked Pacific Northwest.
Portland's Myconid fuses the d-beat fury of crust punk with the grotesque heaviness of death metal, arriving in 2023 with a filthy, fast-and-brutal sound shaped by the city's long tradition of DIY extreme music crossover.
Hailing from Southern California, Myconith have been delivering uncompromising brutal death metal since 2015, characterized by punishing down-tuned guitars, blast-beat onslaughts, and guttural vocals that prioritize sheer brutality over melody.
