Malignant Eternal is a black metal (early); black metal/industrial (later) band from Bergen/Rosendal, Norway, formed in 1997. They deliver dark, uncompromising black metal from the Norway underground.
Malignant Excremental deliver gore-soaked death metal out of Cuiabá with clear debts to Autopsy and Necrony, reveling in slow-churning, putrid riff work alongside bursts of brutal speed. Their 2022 debut full-length "Descrição Explícita e Brutal da Face da Morte," released through Rotten Foetus Records, established them as one of the more authentically fetid death metal acts to emerge from the Midwest region of Brazil.
Malignant Intent is a death metal band from Dundee, Scotland, active since 1987. As one of the longest-running Scottish death metal acts, they have delivered nearly four decades of uncompromising brutality.
Malignant Mist is a technical death metal act from Reykjavík, active since 2014. The band delivers precision-driven extremity from Iceland's capital, where the extreme metal scene has produced internationally acclaimed acts.
Malignant Providence is a death metal act from Timișoara in western Romania, formed in 2025. The band delivers aggressive extremity from the Banat region.
Malignant Worm is a brutal death metal and grindcore act from Marseille, emerging in 2024 with a sound designed for maximum physical impact. The band brings extremity to France's Mediterranean coast with guttural vocals and grinding blasts.
Maligner is a death/thrash metal band from Malmö, Sweden, formed in 2016. They forge aggressive extreme metal at the crossroads of death and thrash.
Rising from the hot interior of Piauí, Malignitude play a rawly atmospheric strain of black metal with occult and misanthropic leanings, as heard on their debut "Sons of Infernal Land." The record unfolds across six tracks of cold, mid-paced aggression, channeling the bleak grandeur typical of Scandinavian second-wave black metal through a distinctly northern Brazilian lens.
