The Conjuration

Danville, VA, US · 2012–present · active
Out of Danville, Virginia, The Conjuration push death metal into genuinely strange territory, folding avant-garde compositional ideas into crushing extremity.

The Conquering

Columbus, OH, US · 2006–present · active
Columbus, Ohio's The Conquering have been forging their own brand of Viking and folk-inflected black metal since 2006, drawing on themes of Norse mythology and pagan lore without losing the ferocity that grounds the music. The Midwest setting gives their atmosphere a particular starkness — wide, cold, and elemental — that suits the genre's epic scope.

The Contagion Effect

Baltimore, MD, US · 2011–present · active
Baltimore's The Contagion Effect have been weaponizing the death metal and deathcore crossover since 2011, delivering a sound that pairs surgical low-end heaviness with the structured brutality deathcore demands. In a city with a deep metal history, they've established themselves as one of the harder-hitting acts in the mid-Atlantic underground.

The Corona Lantern

Prague, CZ · 2015–present · active

The County Medical Examiners

CA, US · 2001–present · active
A studio-only goregrind project formed in Scotts Valley, California, in 2001, The County Medical Examiners exist for the explicit purpose of recreating the sound of early Carcass, with lyrics written entirely in forensic and medicolegal terminology and members performing under pseudonymous medical titles. Their debut album Forensic Fugues and Medicolegal Medleys (2002) on Razorback Records was followed by Olidous Operettas (2007) on Relapse Records, each delivering dense, Symphonies of Sickness-era grind with clinical precision. The project has never performed live, maintaining an air of obscure, pathologist-themed mystery.
