Chicago's Comaborn fuse black metal's icy menace with death metal's brutality into a hybrid that feels both vicious and atmospheric. The Windy City's underground provides fertile ground for their dark, aggressive sound.
Clementon, New Jersey's Come and Get It play black metal-tinged speed metal that's nasty and stripped-down, channeling the raw aggression of the early underground. Fast, mean, and unconcerned with polish.
Blackened crust/grind addressing border, religious, and governmental oppression in the El Paso region. Active 2010-2016 on Unholy Anarchy Records.
Maine's Commuted operate in the space where black metal's cold fury meets death metal's brutality, carving out something harsh and unforgiving from the remote New England wilderness. Their sound has the isolation of the state baked into it.
Compassion Fatigue grind through a corrosive intersection of black metal, death metal, and grindcore, channeling relentless hostility into short, caustic blasts of extreme noise.
Holyoke, Massachusetts one-piece Compress delivers oppressive black metal steeped in cold dissonance and suffocating density, an unrelenting solo project built for maximum atmospheric punishment.
Pleasant Hill, California's Concealed meld groove metal's mid-tempo swagger with nu metal's heavy atmosphere and occasional thrash bite, landing in the aggressive pocket of late-90s Bay Area heaviness.
Boston doom outfit Concilium drag listeners through cavernous, slow-motion heaviness, using dense, distorted walls of sound and oppressive tempos to evoke dread and resignation.
War metal in the vein of Havohej, Demoncy, and Beherit. Briefly split in 2016 before reuniting in 2018 with renewed ferocity.
