Orlando thrash metal project from the Florida underground.

Orlando's Emporos fuse melodic deathcore with punishing death metal, pairing razor-edged guitar harmonies against the kind of heavy breakdowns that Central Florida's pit crowd demands.

Florida's Eroguro Phantasmagore takes its name from the Japanese aesthetic of erotic grotesquerie and translates that sensibility into technical, experimental deathcore and grindcore that is deliberately unsettling in both form and content. Formed in 2024, the project attacks its material with maximal density and a refusal to provide easy footholds.

Orlando's Etheric Plague have been infecting Florida's extreme metal scene since 2013 with a volatile mix of technical death metal ferocity and deathcore groove. Their sound carries the humid aggression of the Sunshine State's storied death metal lineage into new territory.

Despite the countrypolitan jab in their name, Tampa's Get Out of Nashville plays deathcore and death metal with the blunt aggression of a band that has no patience for anything polished. Since 2021, they've been a loud refusal of everything glossy.

Port St. Lucie, Florida progressive death metal and deathcore band Mortal Judgment, formed in 2023, push the boundaries of both genres with technically ambitious arrangements and the kind of crushing breakdowns deathcore demands. Florida's deep extreme metal heritage provides both a high bar and a fertile tradition for a young band with serious technical ambitions.

Florida's Scumfuck formed in 2017 at the intersection of brutal death metal and deathcore, weaponizing the genre's most punishing extremes into a relentless sonic assault. Their approach leans into guttural low-end devastation and breakneck tempo shifts that typify the brutal deathcore underground. Unapologetically vicious, they are a product of the deep Florida death metal tradition refracted through modern deathcore aggression.

A Florida brutal deathcore act formed in 2022, Skin Stripper pushes the extremity dial toward the red — combining the suffocating low-end of slam-inflected brutality with deathcore's penchant for breakdown-driven punishment.

Slamologist are a Bradenton, Florida deathcore band formed in 2019, applying a scientific dedication to the genre's most brutalizing elements — breakdowns, gutturals, and dissonant riffing delivered with systematic precision. Florida's long history of death metal extremity provides the backdrop for their sound.
