One of Connecticut's longer-running extreme acts, Bridgeport's The Way of All Flesh have been weaving progressive complexity into melodic death metal since 2005 — intricate arrangements and emotional dynamics that push far beyond the genre's standard templates.
The Way We Are is a metalcore band from Budapest, Hungary, formed in 2022. They deliver modern metalcore with heavy grooves, dynamic song structures, and aggressive energy.
Chaotic punk spectacle from Denton.
Stoner/doom duo from Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, formed in 2017 by Souza (vocals, guitar) and Castro (vocals, bass), later expanding to a trio with the addition of drummer Mitchell. Their debut release Pigs (November 2017), recorded at Underworld Homestudio, runs two tracks of heavy, psychedelic riffing drawing on Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd.
Austin power trio blending knotty prog, punk, and bluesy doom rock.
Melodic metalcore from Dallas.
Chapel Hill's The White Tomb approach deathcore with technical precision, layering complex riffing and unpredictable song structures onto the genre's brutalist framework — an approach that has kept them one of North Carolina's more intellectually rigorous extreme metal acts since 2011.
The Whole Truth from Nantes deliver death metal and grindcore with the complete, unvarnished honesty their judicial-oath name demands since 2013. Over a decade of truth-telling brutality from the Loire-Atlantique capital has produced compositions of unflinching extremity.
New York City's The Wicked Exorcist Ritual deal in unadorned, rotten death metal with an occult and ritualistic character, embracing the genre's most primitive and suffocating qualities since their formation in 2020.
