Solitary depressive black metal emanating from London, formed in 2021. Their recordings strip black metal to its most emotionally exposed core, favoring repetitive, trance-like structures and vocals wracked with despair.
German melodic death metal and metalcore band from Giessen, formed in 2015. They blend melodic death metal's guitar harmonies with metalcore's punchy aggression.
Finnish death metal and grindcore band from Helsinki, formed in 2020. They deliver death-grind with irreverent energy from the Finnish capital.
Orlando's Bodybox burst onto the extreme metal scene in 2021 with a savage blend of brutal death metal, grindcore, and hardcore that hits like a sledgehammer to the chest. Frontman Harrison Brown leads the assault through guttural vocals over relentless blast beats and downtuned savagery. Their debut album '3' cemented their reputation as one of Florida's most unhinged new heavy acts, carrying on the state's proud tradition of death metal brutality.
Bodychoke was an experimental noise rock outfit active from 1993 to 1999, operating as a side project of British power electronics group Sutcliffe Jugend. Their sound combined heavy, repetitive bass-and-drum riffs with dense layers of distorted guitar noise and vocals ranging from deep murmurs to deranged screaming, with later albums incorporating cello as both melodic and ambient texture. Notable releases include Mindshaft, produced by dub musician Ott, and the Steve Albini-produced Five Prostitutes, both records that situated Bodychoke within the UK's most extreme noise and industrial underground.
Emerging in 2021 from Dnipro, this death metal act channels the genre's primal aggression through tight, riff-driven compositions. Their recordings carry the unmistakable weight of classic death metal.
Cork-based black metal act active since 2020, channeling the genre's core tenets of tremolo-driven riffing and blast-beat fury through a Irish lens. Their recordings maintain a commitment to the raw, unvarnished aesthetic that defines underground black metal.
Amersfoort-based death metal act active since 2016, trafficking in the genre's essential currency of guttural vocals, down-tuned riffs, and relentless percussive punishment. Their compositions deliver uncompromising heaviness rooted in the old-school tradition.
Grindcore act from Vertemate con Minoprio (Como), formed in 2016. Their music exists in a state of perpetual detonation, packing blast beats and screamed vocals into compositions that rarely exceed the two-minute mark.
