From the small Ohio town of Shadyside, Godslayer have been delivering no-frills death metal since 2014 — straightforward in its brutality, uninterested in trend-chasing, and uncompromising in execution.
Cincinnati's Gorotum have been adding their own chapter to Ohio's rich death metal history since 2021, channeling the Midwest's underground tradition into dense, punishing compositions that feel lived-in despite the band's relative youth.
Cleveland's Gouted Corpse emerged in 2024 with the kind of putrid, bone-grinding death metal that feels native to the Rust Belt's industrial decay. Raw and unpolished, they channel old-school brutality without apology.
