Odesa-based melodic death metal act active since 2016, threading harmonized guitar leads and memorable hooks through aggressive, double-bass-driven arrangements. Their approach balances accessibility with genuine heaviness, drawing from the Gothenburg tradition.
London-based brutal death metal, goregrind, and grindcore band formed in 2013, revived with encouragement from Amputated's Mark Pearce. Their ultra-guttural catalog from None More Putrid through 2023's career-spanning compilation 1.3.3.1.8 delivers sickening brutality with chaotic energy and dark humor.
Kungur (early)/Perm (later)-based brutal death metal outfit active since 2013, delivering relentless blastbeat-driven punishment and guttural vocal extremity. Their compositions trade in the genre's heaviest currency: slamming breakdowns, inhuman vocals, and wall-to-wall brutality.
Czech doom/death metal band formed in 2009, channeling the crushing weight of doom metal with death metal's guttural intensity. Their sound occupies the bleaker end of the Czech extreme metal spectrum.
German black/death metal band from Dresden, formed in 2024. They forge iconoclastic black/death metal from Saxony's capital city.
Finnish groove/melodic death metal band from Salo, formed in 2018. They blend groove metal's rhythmic power with melodic death metal's harmonies.
Birmingham-based death metal act formed in 2021, creating what they describe as grinding, psychedelic-death tinged hardcore. Their releases including Severed Extremities and the Animalium Series blend death metal, psychedelia, and hardcore punk into an abrasive, intense hybrid.
Danish death/groove metal and metalcore band from Copenhagen, formed in 2013. They merge death metal, groove metal, and metalcore into a venomous cocktail.
UK death metal band from Guildford, known for their heavy, atmospheric approach to the genre. Their discography spanning the demo Amorte through albums Hallucinating in Resurrecture and Phobiate explores themes of mortality, bereavement, and loss through classic-sounding death metal in the vein of early Vader and Gorguts.
