Sepulchral Rites is a death metal band from Santiago, Chile, formed in 2017. The band has released material including the Demented Rites demo (2017) and appeared on the Skin Deep 5-Way Split CD (2021), and subsequently released the Death and Bloody Ritual EP in 2021 through German label Dunkelheit Produktionen.
Death and thrash metal band from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, formed in 1987, inspired by the early extreme metal scene emerging from that city alongside bands such as Mutilator and Holocausto. Their full-length Evil Never Rests was released in 2020 on Dies Irae Records.
Thrash/black metal band from Tamines in the Namur province, active since 2016, merging thrash metal's velocity with black metal's atmospheric darkness. Their hybrid approach creates a ferocious sound rooted in both genres' most intense traditions.
Lodi's Sepulchral Void craft doom metal of abyssal depth since 2015. Their name combines funerary imagery with nothingness, and their sound accordingly inhabits a space of overwhelming emptiness and weight.
Death metal band from Recife, Pernambuco, formed in 2015 by members already active in the northeastern underground. They debuted with the mini-LP Everlasting Morbid Delights in 2017 and released their first full-length, The Return from a Sepulchral Rest, on March 25, 2024, featuring a five-piece lineup including Tenebrarum on vocals and Pestmeester on guitars and keyboards.
Kazan's Sepulchral Witchcraft pair black and death metal from the Tatar capital since 2026. Their tomb-sorcery name channels necromantic arts into compositions of freshly-minted extremity from the Volga crossroads.
New Brunswick, New Jersey's Sepulchromancy arrived in 2023 fusing the murky brutality of death metal with the reckless speed of thrash. Their approach recalls the classic death/thrash hybridization of the late 1980s and early 1990s underground, updated with a raw modern production sensibility. They represent a worthy continuation of the New Jersey extreme metal tradition that has long thrived in the shadow of New York.
Sepulchrum emerged from Irving, Texas in 2023 trafficking in raw black metal of the most unadorned and primitive variety. Their music strips the genre down to its coldest essentials — corrosive tremolo, lo-fi production, and an atmosphere of total hostility — rooted in the underground black metal ethos that eschews refinement by design. They are part of a quietly growing raw black metal presence in the North Texas area.
Sepulcration deal in death metal from Madrid, their tomb-themed name reflecting the morbid intensity of their extreme compositions. Active since 2017, they bring sepulchral brutality to the Spanish capital's underground.
