Manfrea is a blackened death metal (early); metalcore (later) band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2016. They forge extreme metal at the fierce intersection of black and death metal.
Mang Ont is a stoner, sludge, and doom metal band from Tartu, Estonia, formed in 2012, blending heavy, slow riffs with psychedelic drone and noise. Their Estonian-language releases including Külmavärinad and Sügavkülmunud tuum channel crushing sonic weight through modular synth, bass, and guitar.
Los Angeles' Mange operate at a grim crossroads of doom, sludge, and grindcore — a combination that sounds exactly as ugly and confrontational as it should. Since 2015 the band has weaponized tempo contrast, lurching between suffocating crawls and explosive blasts.
Mangel is a melodic black metal project from Menden, Germany, active since 2020. Their sound combines the tremolo-picked ferocity of black metal with melodic sensibility, drawing from the Sauerland region's growing extreme metal underground.
Founded by drummer Marcelo Kruszynski in the Paraíba Valley, Manger Cadavre? have spent over fifteen years applying crust, grind, and hardcore fury to pointed critiques of systemic failure, logging more than 340 shows across Brazil, South America, and Europe along the way. Their 2021 album 'Decomposição' pushed further into death crust territory, while 'Como Nascem Os Monstros' (2025) continued that evolution with the current lineup of Nata de Lima on vocals, Paulo Alexandre on guitar, and Bruno Henrique on bass.
Long Island's Mangled have been punishing listeners with brutal death metal since 2006, carrying on the New York area's tradition of uncompromising extremity without apology. Dense, technical, and brutally efficient.
Mangled Dreams is a Voss-based act that evolved from doom metal to thrash metal and crossover, active since 2022. The band channels the dramatic Norwegian fjord landscape into aggressive, shape-shifting compositions.
A death metal act from Pforzheim in Baden-Württemberg, Mangled Torsos has been delivering grotesque extremity since 2022. The band channels the visceral imagery of their name into brutal, old-school death metal.
Mangrove is a stoner metal and rock act from Stockholm, active since 2019. The band channels the tangled, organic imagery of their name into dense, root-heavy grooves.
