Mortal Remains are a groove and thrash metal band out of Queens, New York City, fusing the head-down punch of groove metal with thrash aggression rooted in the NYC underground.
Hailing from Olympia, Washington, Mortiferum deal in a suffocating blend of death and doom metal built on cavernous low-end, glacially slow passages, and sepulchral atmosphere — one of the Pacific Northwest's most oppressive acts since their 2017 formation.
Denver newcomers Mortis Witch, formed in 2025, brew a hazy concoction of stoner and doom metal rooted in the Colorado high-altitude heavy music scene, blending fuzz-drenched riffs with slow, hypnotic doom weight.
Jacksonville, Arkansas duo Mortua Sordes deal in blackened doom metal since their 2023 formation, pairing the bleak, dragging weight of doom with the corrosive venom of black metal — a particularly desolate sound for a relatively young Southern act.
Phoenix doom/sludge outfit Mosara channel the oppressive desert heat into slow, grinding heaviness — formed in 2019, they pair massive distorted riffs with a suffocating patience well-suited to the Arizona landscape.
From the rural western Massachusetts town of Cummington, Mosslung fuse funeral doom's paralyzing slowness with black metal's icy atmosphere and ambient drone, creating music as desolate and overgrown as the New England woods surrounding them.
Cincinnati's Moth Priest bring a ritualistic weight to stoner/doom metal, formed in 2021 with a sound that favors glacial tempos and hazy, amplifier-worship aesthetics — part of a quietly active heavy underground in southern Ohio.
Seattle's Mother Crone run a volatile mix of stoner grooves, doom weight, and thrash velocity, formed in 2015 in a city with deep underground metal roots — a band that treats heavy music as something that must also move fast.
Huntington, West Virginia's Mother of God operate at the extreme slow end of drone/doom metal, a project that emerged from a region with genuine economic bleakness and channels that weight into suffocating, near-static compositions.
