A St. Louis death metal and grindcore act, Coagulating operate deep within the underground, where blunt brutality and noise collide. Their existence is largely undocumented beyond their regional scene presence.
Black-death metal band from Waldkraiburg, Germany, formed in 2014. They merge the atmospheric darkness of black metal with death metal's crushing brutality.
Coagulo was a death metal band from San Juan, Argentina, formed in 2015 and later split up. The five-piece lineup featured Julián Ibars on vocals, Martín Manrique and Julio Rosales on guitars, Elías Vega on bass, and Daniel Fernández on drums.
Coal Chamber were among the first wave of nu-metal bands to emerge from Los Angeles in the mid-'90s, pairing Dez Fafara's sneering vocals with dark, gothic-tinged riffs and industrial textures. Their 1997 self-titled debut and follow-up 'Chamber Music' helped establish the nu-metal blueprint alongside peers like Korn and Deftones. Though Fafara went on to greater commercial success with DevilDriver, Coal Chamber's grimy, theatrical take on heavy music remains a touchstone of the era.
Coalesce formed in Kansas City, Missouri in 1994, pioneering an abrasive and technically demanding strain of metalcore characterized by odd time signatures, dissonant guitar interplay, abrupt dynamic shifts, and aggressive vocals. The band released key records including Give Them Rope (1997) and 0:12 Revolution in Just Listening (1999) on Hydra Head Records, establishing them as foundational figures in both metalcore and mathcore. They broke up in 2010 and have since performed reunion shows.
Melodic death metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2018. They craft melodic yet crushing death metal from the Finnish capital.
New Jersey black metal outfit conjuring cold, atmospheric grimness from the Garden State's flat expanse. Their sound draws from the raw, second-wave tradition with an uncompromising underground edge.
Sludge and stoner doom band from Minsk, Belarus, active since 2009. Their discography, from the raw livedemo 2011 through the sprawling instrumental album Doomsdays (2015), showcases a heavy, psychedelic approach to low-and-slow riffing.
Death metal and grindcore band from Redhill in Surrey, England, formed in 2022. They deliver provocative, abrasive extremity.
