Lappeenranta progressive metal act active since 2014, crafting technically demanding compositions from southeastern Finland near the Russian border. Their work combines progressive complexity with the emotional depth characteristic of Finnish metal.
Czech melodic death metal band from Prague, formed in 2023 and channeling harmonic extremity. Their Latin name, meaning 'kingdom of oblivion,' captures the forgotten, lost character of their melodeath.
Czech black/death metal band from Slany with folk influences, merging extreme metal with traditional elements since 2019. Named after the literary character representing apathy, their approach channels Slavic lethargy through darkened metal.
Melodic death metal act from Tuscania in the province of Viterbo, active since 2017. Their Etruscan-country origins in rural Lazio give their Gothenburg-influenced melodeath a distinctly Italian sense of drama.
German death/thrash metal band from Remscheid, active since 2004 and delivering two decades of aggression. Their confrontational name matches the punishing, in-your-face character of their death-thrash assault.
Leeds-based Obnoxious Concoction lives up to their name with a revolting brew of old-school death metal that revels in filth and brutality. Their riff-heavy approach channels the gutbucket heaviness of early Autopsy and Bolt Thrower.
Indianapolis's Obscene have been shaping Indiana's death metal identity since 2012, wielding riffs that are dense, dissonant, and uncompromisingly heavy. Their approach favors atmosphere forged through weight rather than speed, letting the darkness build and accumulate.
From Saratoga Springs, Obscene Execration bring death metal ugliness to upstate New York with the kind of unvarnished savagery that feels genuinely threatening. Formed in 2015, they channel pure genre nihilism with no detours and no apologies.
L.A.'s Obscene Gesture ride the collision of thrash and crossover with the kind of high-energy hostility that's been a hallmark of Southern California's street-level heavy scene since the '80s. Formed in 2014, they keep the aggression blunt and the tempos punishing.
