New York technical death metal and black metal act delivering extreme, precision-built material with genuine underground credibility. Their sound draws on both genres' most demanding technical traditions.
San Antonio trio fusing black metal's cold menace with the suffocating weight of doom and sludge. Their music moves with deliberate malice, rooted deep in the South Texas underground.
Connecticut post-black metal project weaving folk elements into a harrowing atmospheric framework. Crawl Below balances earthy melodicism against the desolate bleakness of the black metal tradition.
Pennsylvania raw black metal project steeped in lo-fi corrosion and stripped-to-bone harshness. Creak operates in the most unmediated register of the genre, where atmosphere is built through decay.
Orange County crossover thrash act channeling the reckless energy that defined the California hardcore-meets-metal scene. Creatures keep the pit-starting spirit of classic crossover alive with fast, aggressive songs.
San Francisco black metal act drawing its name from Tolkien's dark crow spies and its sound from cold, hateful tradition. Crebain operates in the grim, atmospheric end of American black metal with conviction.
Fort Wayne, Indiana groove metal act built on mid-tempo pound and the kind of riff-first mentality that made the Midwest a reliable source of heavy music. Creep delivers blunt, knuckle-dragging heaviness.
Chicago black and thrash metal band fusing the icy venom of black metal with thrash's speed and sharpness. Creepshow brings a dark, aggressive edge to the already ferocious Chicago metal underground.
Tempe, Arizona's Crematorium explore the slow and suffocating overlap of black metal atmosphere and drone metal stasis. Their desert-forged sound is minimal and oppressive, shaped by the bleakness of the Southwest landscape.
