Out of the Oklahoma City underground since 2009, Obliteration deal in death metal that's direct, punishing, and built to last. No frills, no gimmicks — just riffs and the relentless forward motion of a band that knows exactly what the genre demands.
Karlsruhe black metal project newly formed in 2025, among the freshest entries in Baden-Wurttemberg's black metal underground. Early material suggests a minimalist approach that strips the genre to its essential hostility.
Melodic death metal act from Kubschutz near Bautzen in rural Saxony, active since 2019. Their output brings Gothenburg-influenced melodeath to an area of eastern Germany rarely associated with the style.
Savage Melodic Black / Death Metal / Metalcore from Fort Worth.
Portland's Oblivion Griever blend progressive metal's cerebral architecture with a rock-rooted directness, building compositions that shift and breathe without losing their emotional center. Formed in 2020, they bring a reflective, introspective edge to the Pacific Northwest's heavy scene.
Asheville's Oblivion Throne hit the ground running in 2021 with speed metal urgency fused to classic thrash aggression, channeling the mountain city's outsider energy into high-octane riffs. Fast, fierce, and deeply rooted in the old-school spirit that never gets old.
Turin doom metal project formed in 2024, the latest addition to Piedmont's strong doom metal tradition. Their vortex imagery suits a style of doom that spirals downward into increasingly crushing depths.
Hamburg gothic/doom metal act weaving darkly romantic compositions since 2015. Their blend of gothic metal's theatrical melancholy with doom's crushing weight places them within a tradition that Hamburg's port-city gloom suits well.
Dallas death metal act Oblivious Obscurity carve through the Texas underground with a sound that's murky, suffocating, and relentlessly heavy. Since 2019 they've been stacking riffs that owe as much to the genre's filthiest roots as to the sprawling brutality of the Lone Star scene.
