Tampa melodic death/groove metal act formed in 2022 in one of America's most storied metal cities, blending the hooky melodic leads of Gothenburg-style death metal with the thick mid-tempo groove that the Florida scene has always done well.

Sarasota's Enlo approaches progressive and technical death metal with surgical ambition, crafting densely layered compositions that showcase Florida's tradition of technical extremity with their own melodic sensibility.

Orlando's Ensanguined arrived in 2023 fusing the maniacal velocity of speed metal with black metal's icy malevolence — a blood-soaked debut into Florida's extremity-rich underground.

Panama City, Florida's Entropy thrash with swampy Southern ferocity, mixing death metal's guttural heaviness into their relentless riff assault since 2020.

Out of Okeechobee, Florida, Equalizer level everything in their path with slam and brutal death metal that puts sheer heaviness above all other considerations. Founded in 2020, they carry the Florida death metal tradition into one of the state's most unlikely locations.

Sarasota's Erock built a dedicated online following by recording instrumental metal covers of film and game themes, wielding neoclassical shred technique across a catalog that spans everything from beloved anime soundtracks to Hollywood blockbusters. The project is as much a display of technical guitar craft as it is a tribute to the music that defined a generation of listeners.

Palatka, Florida's Erode drags groove metal's mid-tempo swagger through the murk of doom, producing music that moves like it's pushing through tar — deliberate, heavy, and relentless. Since 2010 the band has refined a sound built on suffocating riffs and a Southern sense of earned heaviness.

Out of Ocala, Florida, Eroding the Past delivers straightforward, punishing death metal rooted in the genre's classic traditions — chainsaw riffs, guttural vocals, and the kind of relentless pacing that keeps listeners off balance. A decade-long commitment to the style has made their approach thoroughly lived-in.
