Long Beach, Mississippi's Skulldozer are an entirely separate outfit sharing a name with their Oregon counterparts, playing death metal out of the Gulf Coast state's small but determined underground scene since 2015.
Skulldriver deliver groove and thrash metal from the Swedish-speaking Finnish town of Liljendal, combining rhythmic heaviness with thrash velocity. Active since 2017, they bring skull-driving force to the Ostrobothnia scene.
Albuquerque's Skulldron have been working the stoner-doom corridor since 2012, with the high desert altitude and baking New Mexico heat lending their sound a suitably hazy, heavy quality — fuzzed-out riffs stretched over long, hypnotic structures.
Skulled play thrash and heavy metal from Bremen, combining classic metal foundations with thrash's aggressive velocity. Active since 2014, they contribute to the Hanseatic city's well-established metal tradition.
Virginia Beach's Skulless formed in 2017 at the edge of death metal and grindcore, favoring the kind of brutal, compacted brutality that drops all pretense and hammers straight through — short songs, maximum punishment, East Coast coastal aggression.
Salt Lake City death metal act Skullfuck formed in 2015 with a deliberately abrasive name that signals their allegiance to extreme metal's most uncompromising corner — straightforward death metal delivered without concession to subtlety.
Skullhammer deal in death metal from Bottrop in the northern Ruhr Valley, delivering the blunt-force trauma their name describes. Their Westphalian industrial city base provides a fitting backdrop for their unsubtle extremity.
Limburg's Skullhog merge death metal and grindcore from the Dutch far south since 2007. Nearly two decades of extremity from the hilly border region have produced a body of distinctly unrefined, punishing work.
Murfreesboro, Tennessee's Skullkin is a groove metal act formed in 2020, bringing the mid-South's meat-and-riff sensibility to a style built on syncopated heaviness and the kind of locked-in rhythm section that makes venues rumble.
