Opole's Vis Vitalis plays classic heavy metal and power metal with an emphasis on soaring vocals, anthemic choruses, and galloping rhythms. Their traditional approach channels the spirit of early European power metal with conviction and energy.
Visagem is a speed/black/heavy metal band from Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, with members performing under the names M. Profanadör (vocals), N. Morbid (guitars), L. Speedrazör (bass), and V. Krauser (drums). The band made their live debut in February 2024 and released their first demo, "A Ascensão da Tirania Infernal", in December 2024 as an independent release.
Oakland's Viscelator formed in 2019 and brings the Bay Area's thrash legacy into sharp contemporary focus — hard-hitting, riff-centric, and indebted to the crossover energy that made the region's scene so influential in the 1980s. They carry the weight of that tradition without nostalgia, playing like the genre never needed to be reinvented.
A brand-new entry in the brutal death metal underground, Viscera Crown formed in 2026 and wasted no time establishing a sound defined by crushing low-tuned riffage and the kind of relentless rhythmic violence the genre demands. With their Bandcamp presence already staking a claim, they arrive fully formed and uninterested in easing listeners in gently.
Estombar's Visceral grinds through a punishing hybrid of death metal and grindcore from the sun-baked Algarve region. Their short, explosive compositions pair guttural brutality with blast-driven fury in the tradition of early Carcass and Napalm Death.
Visceral Abnormality is a technical death metal band from Guadalajara, Jalisco, formed in 2017. The band explores themes of social criticism, philosophy, and occultism across releases including the EP Humanity Lost (2020) and the single The Pinnacle of Human Evolution (2022). They remain one of the more prominent independent tech-death acts in Guadalajara's underground scene.
Visceral Carnage is a goregrind band from Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, France, active since 2005. They deliver graphic, visceral goregrind from the Vosges mountains.
Visceral Evisceration was formed in Vienna, Austria in 1991 and were among the earliest extreme metal bands to incorporate female operatic vocals alongside male death growls, creating a jarring contrast that defined their sound. Their sole full-length Incessant Desire for Palatable Flesh (1994) on Napalm Records combined slow doom riffing with mid-paced death metal and marked a singular moment in early death-doom. The band changed their name to As I Lay Dying shortly afterward and disbanded in 1996.
Visceral Gleam is a black metal project from Cork, Ireland, formed in 2021. They deliver intense black metal from the Irish underground.
