Pittsburgh death metal band delivering grim, crushing brutality from the Steel City underground. Their music is built on heavy, grinding riffs and a relentlessly dark worldview.
Philadelphia brutal death metal band delivering bone-crushing heaviness and guttural extremity from the City of Brotherly Love. Dense, technical, and relentlessly punishing.
Elliottsburg, Pennsylvania outfit specializing in the most physically oppressive end of brutal and slam death metal, where breakdowns feel less like transitions and more like cave-ins. Their music is designed to destroy whatever room it's played in.
Philadelphia death/grind band Covered in Sores work in the ugly, fast-and-filthy tradition of bands that made both genres infamous — short songs, intense bursts, no mercy. They fit naturally into Philly's deep history of extreme underground acts.
Pittsburgh progressive death metal act fusing technical guitar work with genuine compositional ambition. Their material shifts between ferocity and melody, drawing on a tradition of thinking person's extreme metal.
Hermitage, Pennsylvania death metal band rooted in the Western Pennsylvania tradition of uncompromising underground heaviness. Their material is direct, brutal, and concerned with little beyond effective riff delivery.
Greensburg, Pennsylvania's Crepitus deal in death metal shaped by the rust-belt grimness of western Pennsylvania. Their approach is heavy, direct, and indebted to the American death metal traditions of the early 1990s.
Northwestern Pennsylvania death metal and deathcore act pairing pulverizing breakdowns with melodic death metal sweep and intricate riffing honed in the underground Pennsylvania scene.
Philadelphia's Crown of Nails traffics in the grim overlap of black and death metal, channeling the city's notoriously intense underground scene into punishing, uncompromising music. Their sound is raw and confrontational, fitting for the Philly extreme metal tradition.
