Slamologist are a Bradenton, Florida deathcore band formed in 2019, applying a scientific dedication to the genre's most brutalizing elements — breakdowns, gutturals, and dissonant riffing delivered with systematic precision. Florida's long history of death metal extremity provides the backdrop for their sound.
One-man bulldozing slam project, formerly known as Slam Induced Groove. Prolific output on CDN Records.
Slamphetamine are a Little Rock, Arkansas slam death metal band formed in 2014, whose name implies exactly the kind of speed, intensity, and addictive punishment they deal out. They are one of the older slam acts in the South, building catalog over a decade of underground activity.
Savage Slam / Brutal Death Metal from Beeville.
Slamwich are a Boston, Massachusetts deathcore band formed in 2014, layering the genre's trademark breakdowns and extreme vocals over arrangements with enough Boston grit to keep things grounded. A decade in, they remain a fixture of the New England extreme underground.
A thrash metal outfit from the small town of Delavan, Wisconsin, Slanderous formed in 2020 and bring a straightforward aggression to the Midwest underground scene. Their Bandcamp presence under the name Slanderous Mambo hints at a scrappy, no-frills approach to the genre.
Hailing from Ontario, California, Slanderus blend thrash ferocity with progressive architecture, building songs that shift between angular riffing and more expansive, technically minded passages. Active since 2013, they represent the Inland Empire's commitment to metal that rewards close listening.
Vasteras' Slapdash pair groove and thrash metal from the Vastmanland capital. Their hasty, careless name channels the energy of reckless momentum into dual-genre compositions from central Sweden.
