Goregrind, grindcore, and death metal band from Minsk, Belarus, evolving from pure goregrind into a broader extreme metal assault since 2013. Their provocatively named project embraces the most visceral corner of extreme music.
Punishing brutal death metal from Como, formed in 2003. Guttural vocals scrape the basement of human register while churning riffs and gravity-blast percussion pummel with mechanical precision.
Czech goregrind and grindcore band from Prague, formed in 2011. Originally rooted in goregrind's deliberately extreme sonic and thematic territory, they later broadened their approach into a wider grindcore framework.
Amadora-based death metal/grindcore outfit active since 2015, blasting through short, ferocious compositions that marry death metal's low-end churn with grindcore's frenetic speed. Their music operates at maximum intensity with minimal patience for subtlety.
Estômbar-based death metal/grindcore outfit active since 2021, blasting through short, ferocious compositions that marry death metal's low-end churn with grindcore's frenetic speed. Their music operates at maximum intensity with minimal patience for subtlety.
Novosibirsk-based goregrind outfit active since 2018, reveling in pitchshifted gurgles, blast beats, and medically-themed depravity. Their short, violent compositions waste no time on niceties, delivering maximum grotesquery in minimum time.
Lincoln-based grindcore outfit active since 2014, delivering ferocious blasts of fury that leave no room for conventional song structures. Their compositions compress maximum aggression into minimal running times.
Goregrind project from Gomel, Belarus, active since 2013. Their medically-derived name signals the clinical brutality of their goregrind output.
German grindcore and death metal band from the Lower Saxony-Bremen border region, formed in 2013. They deliver corrupting blasts of death-grind extremity.
