Buried in Corpvs is a metalcore band from Santiago, Chile, formed in 2015. The band released the EP "Catharsis" as their debut, a six-track effort that established their presence in Santiago's heavy underground scene.
German heavy metal and hard rock band from Hanau, formed in 2016. They play smoky, riff-driven heavy metal and hard rock from the Main-Kinzig region.
Buried Inside formed in Ottawa, Ontario in 1997, drawing on the precedents set by Neurosis and Isis to develop a dense, slow-burning sound that merged post-metal atmospherics with hardcore aggression. The band released four studio albums, including Chronoclast (2005) and Spoils of Failure (2009), both on Relapse Records, with the former written as a continuous 40-minute composition. They played their final show in Ottawa in November 2010.
Dutch technical death metal act active since 2021, weaving labyrinthine guitar work and shifting time signatures into their extreme metal framework. Their compositions demand both virtuosity and visceral impact, balancing cerebral complexity with gut-level heaviness.
Multi-faceted extreme act from Lausanne, Switzerland, evolving from sludge/southern metal to death/sludge metal with hardcore since 2013. Their stylistic evolution reflects a restless creative spirit.
Burieth is a death metal band from Medellín, Colombia that formed in the mid-1990s and later split up. Their 1995 demo Ancestral Legacy features seven tracks blending English and Spanish lyrics, and the track "Desolacion" appeared on the 2001 Sylphorium Records/Tribulación Productions compilation Emetic Desecration: Brutal Grind Death Metal Compilation.

Hertfordshire-based stoner/sludge metal outfit active since 2016, laying down thick, fuzz-caked riffs that move at a lumbering, hypnotic pace. Their sound occupies the hazy intersection where stoner metal's psychedelic warmth meets sludge's abrasive hostility.
Stockholm-based industrial metal act active since 2019, fusing mechanical rhythms and electronic textures with heavy guitar distortion. Their cold, precise sound channels the genre's tradition of merging human aggression with machine-like efficiency.
