Out of Stephenville, Texas, Shinigami no Yuujin delivers raw, isolated black metal with a deep personal intensity, operating in the margins of the Texas underground since 2015 with a commitment to the genre's most austere traditions.
St. Louis' Shire operates in the harsher territory of black metal, carving out cold and aggressive material from Missouri's underground since 2013 with a rawness that keeps the genre's underground spirit intact.
San Clemente, California's Shit Wizard merges black and death metal with a nihilistic, lo-fi edge, building a reputation in the Southern California underground for unfiltered, filthy extreme metal since 2012.
Burlington, Vermont's Shitangel throws black, death, and thrash into a single caustic blender, emerging as one of the more abrasively minded acts in the New England underground with an irreverent approach to extreme metal since 2019.
Hailing from Erie, Pennsylvania, Shitestrom have been carving out their brand of raw, corrosive black metal since 2010, drawing on the bleak industrial landscape of the Great Lakes region to fuel a decade-plus of grim, uncompromising output.
Detroit's Shitfucker have been weaponizing the intersection of black, death, and thrash metal since 2005, lacing their filth-encrusted attack with punk belligerence — a Motor City band that sounds like it was dragged out of a dumpster fire and handed a guitar.
