Hypomanic Daydream is the Chicago solo project of Manic Dream Girl, fusing dissonant avant-garde death metal with dizzying, 16-bit-RPG-battle-theme synth lines, jazz inflections and Rock-in-Opposition unpredictability. Launched in 2022 explicitly inspired by Homeskin's genre-blending, it has moved from raw EPs through a split with Homeskin to 2025's full-length The Yearning, and more recently into an industrial/electronic-leaning 'Hype-O' offshoot. Critics note it 'doesn't really sound like anyone else' in extreme metal, for better and worse.

Solo avant-garde metal/jazz-fusion project of Raphaël Beaudouin, a musician based in Bois-Guillaume near Rouen, France, who writes, performs, and records every instrument himself — electro-acoustic guitar, clarinet, bass, drums, keyboard — layered with 8-bit sounds and glitch electronics. His 20-track album Pahilcé Koot (self-released, March 2020) is a rapid-fire run of short, absurdly titled vignettes, with Beaudouin citing Pryapisme, Igorrr, Mr. Bungle, Pin-Up Went Down, CHON, and Gentle Giant as touchstones.

Five Pound Pocket Universe is a Zurich, Switzerland jazzcore trio founded in 2016 by drummer/composer Michel Barengo, saxophonist Andi Bissig, and guitarist Valentin Baumgartner. Their sole album, 'Brain Bubble Party' (2018), swings between pre-arranged jazz-metal themes and improvised noise built from samples and prepared/effected guitar, self-described as 'hyper sweet pastel jazzcore madness... spliced with lost cartoon snippets found in the places between channels.'
- UnaffiliatedEI 17Azure EmoteDeathTechnicalJazzy
Azure Emote is an avant-garde death metal project founded in New York in 2003 by illustrator/vocalist Mike Hrubovcak (Monstrosity, Vile) as an outlet 'to express personal negativity without the genre limitations often present within Extreme Metal.' Built around a core band with guitarist Ryan Moll, bassist Kelly Conlon, drummer Mike Heller and violinist Pete Johansen, the project layers in shifting rosters of guest musicians — female vocalists, saxophone, harmonica, keyboards — to give nearly every song its own distinct color. Releases including The Gravity of Impermanence (2013) and The Third Perspective (2020) have come out on Selfmadegod Records.
- UnaffiliatedEI 11SouphLJazzyTechnicalDeath
A revolving-door Quebec City 'collectif musical' built around founder Gueze, originally assembled as the soundtrack for his experimental film Souphl before becoming an ongoing outlet for aggressive, jazz-inflected experimental death/black metal. CommérageS (2020), the collective's best-documented release, folds trumpet and accordion into blast-driven extremity around lyrical themes of gossip and slander.

Their two albums, Butterfly (2012) and Exocoetidae: Flying Fish (2013), pair death-metal vocal bursts with virtuosic, humor-laced composition. Guest musicians on Exocoetidae include prog drummers Morgan Ågren and Marco Minnemann.

Their three LPs (Turbulent Biogenesis 2015, Neuromechanica 2018, Subnormal Dives 2025) blend insanely technical grindcore with freeform jazz, funk (Primus-style) guitar work and drum-and-bass detours. Subnormal Dives (2025) drew coverage from Angry Metal Guy, The Progressive Subway and Everything Is Noise for this jazz/deathgrind hybrid.
- UnaffiliatedEI 10Eigenstate ZeroTechnicalDeathJazzy

Across Sensory Deception, Machinery of Night, The Malthusian and Shape of God Thought of Sun, Ludvigsson stacks odd time signatures and weird electronic/synth textures over a death-metal chassis, filling 'passages of eclectic weirdness' between the heavy sections.
