Wheeling, Illinois grind/death act Chomo Eradicator deal in punishing blasts and visceral extremity with no pretense of subtlety. Loud, ugly, and to the point.
Indiana brutal death and slam act Chop Shop lean into the most grotesque corners of the genre, combining pummeling slam breakdowns with hardcore-inflected brutality. Unsubtle and intentionally so.
Philadelphia's Chopped Up blend death metal violence with grind efficiency and hardcore swagger, keeping things fast and ugly in the tradition of Philly's combative underground. Short and brutal.
Milwaukee death/grind act Chopping Mall trade in B-movie-inspired carnage, delivering blasting extremity with a wicked sense of humor. Wisconsin underground weirdness at its finest.
Clovis, California death metal act Chopt keep things straightforward and heavy, focusing on riff-forward songwriting in the traditional mold. Central Valley brutality without frills.
Chicago's Chordate push death metal into strange experimental territory, dismantling genre conventions with unconventional structures and a restless sonic curiosity. Not for the orthodox.
Alabama death metal act Christ deal in blunt, straightforward brutality from the American South, a region with its own tradition of extreme music running underneath the mainstream. Heavy and unadorned.
Houston brutal death metal act Christ Malformation deliver relentless extremity from deep in the Texas underground, combining technical brutality with blasphemous intent. Heavy and unsparing.
Morgantown, West Virginia black/death act Christ Slaughter channel Appalachian isolation into raw, hostile metal that draws from both traditions without fully committing to either. Underground and uncompromising.
