Vomitile is a death metal band from Nicosia, Cyprus, formed in 2018 and self-described as "death fucking metal." Their releases "Faces Of Terror" and "Pure Eternal Hate" deliver unrelenting, aggressive death metal with no pretense of subtlety.
Vomiting Corpses is a death metal band from Emden, Germany, formed in 2025. They deliver old-school death metal with horror-themed brutality.
Fort Wayne, Indiana's Vomitkvlt have carved out a niche in the black/speed metal underground since 2015, merging the filth and velocity of early black metal with the leather-and-studs urgency of speed metal's punk-adjacent roots. Their material moves fast and mean, with a lo-fi rawness that suits both genres' contempt for polish.

Kensington, California's Vomitorium came together in 2017 with a sound that plants thrash metal squarely in punk's grease-stained soil, the kind of crossover aggression that reminds you both genres were always closer than their gatekeepers wanted to admit. The Bay Area heritage shows — fast, loud, and furious with a working-class attitude that precedes any genre label.
Vomitory is a thrash metal band from Meppen, Germany, active since 1996. With nearly three decades of activity, they are among the most enduring thrash acts in the Lower Saxony underground.
Vomitous is a death metal band from Belfast, Northern Ireland, active since 2010. They play aggressive death metal from the Northern Irish underground.
Tomsk's Vomitous Mass piles on brutal death metal with unrelenting intensity, delivering guttural vocals and grinding riffs from the heart of Siberia. Their punishing approach channels the most extreme end of the death metal spectrum without compromise.
Trollhattan's Vomitrot merges death metal's guttural heaviness with doom metal's ponderous weight, creating compositions that alternate between grinding devastation and slow, crushing passages. Their dual-genre approach creates a dynamic range from frenetic to funereal.

Vomiturgy is a death metal/grindcore band from Béziers, France, active since 1996. With nearly three decades of activity, they are one of the more enduring extreme metal acts in the Languedoc underground.
Elk-based Vomitvsanctvs, their name rendered in mock-Latin black metal orthography, delivers a punishing death-thrash assault rooted in the Polish underground. Their compositions channel raw aggression and blasphemous intensity through tight, riff-driven songwriting.
Formed in Las Vegas in 2022, Von Boldt bring heavy metal to a city whose neon spectacle and underlying desert desolation make for an unexpectedly fitting backdrop for the genre. Still early in their trajectory, they're building on traditional heavy metal foundations with the kind of earnest conviction that suggests the city's outsider reputation is actually a point of pride.
Von der Spree is a progressive/doom metal/rock band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2024. Named after Berlin's Spree River, they blend progressive compositions with doom metal's weight and rock accessibility.
Portland, Oregon's Von Doom have been working the metalcore circuit since 2017, drawing on the genre's interplay between crushing breakdowns and melodic tension in a city whose scene has consistently rewarded bands that take the form seriously. They fit naturally into Portland's broad experimental metal community while keeping their aggression properly anchored.
