El Paso's Crematory Digestor churn out filthy death metal and grindcore from the Texas-Mexico borderland underground. Their music is unrelenting and grimy, rooted in the low-budget brutality of regional extreme metal.
Costa Mesa, California's Crematory Stench deliver old-school death metal with an emphasis on putrid atmosphere and lurching, mid-paced heaviness. They draw from the morbid tradition of early Florida and Swedish death metal forebears.
Venomous Progressive Death / Black Metal from Fort Worth.
Orange County, California death metal act Crepitus bring the grinding, bone-dry brutality of Southern California's underground scene to their work. Their sound is unadorned and visceral, built on punishing riffs and relentless tempos.
Greensburg, Pennsylvania's Crepitus deal in death metal shaped by the rust-belt grimness of western Pennsylvania. Their approach is heavy, direct, and indebted to the American death metal traditions of the early 1990s.
Redwood City's Crepuscle blend melodic death metal's harmonic sophistication with symphonic orchestration and an underlying death metal brutality. The Bay Area band crafts expansive, dramatic metal that balances heaviness with melody.
Salt Lake City's Crepusculum combine the relentless grind of grindcore with death metal's morbid density, emerging from Utah's small but ferocious extreme metal community. Their output is fast, brutal, and uncompromising.
St. Louis brutal death/slam outfit Crescent Shaped Corpse specialize in bowel-churning low-end devastation and squealing pinch harmonics. They are among Missouri's heaviest practitioners of slam-oriented death metal extremity.
San Francisco's Cretaceous pull from both the Bay Area thrash tradition and the brutal extremity of death metal to forge a sound rooted in prehistoric heaviness. Their music evokes the crushing force of geological time and mass extinction.
