Heavy Thrash / Death Metal out of Texas.

Palatka, Florida's Erode drags groove metal's mid-tempo swagger through the murk of doom, producing music that moves like it's pushing through tar — deliberate, heavy, and relentless. Since 2010 the band has refined a sound built on suffocating riffs and a Southern sense of earned heaviness.

Los Angeles's Eternal Ballers approach groove and thrash metal with a street-level irreverence that cuts against the genre's usual self-seriousness. Formed in 2021 with roots in punk attitude as much as metal technique, they are one of the more entertaining acts in the LA underground.

Fort Lauderdale's Eversinceve has been delivering melodic groove metal and metalcore out of South Florida since 2016, a region that has historically produced some of extreme metal's most brutal practitioners. Their groove-forward, melodic approach carves a distinct niche in Florida's heavy music landscape, prioritizing hooks alongside heaviness.

Appleton, Wisconsin's Evoked blend the sludgy groove and hip-hop-inflected rhythms of nu-metal with heavy metal's structural muscle and hard rock's melodic instincts, forming in 2014. Their sound bridges the mid-2000s crossover appeal that made heavy music accessible to mainstream rock audiences, reimagined for a modern midwest setting.

New Orleans legends Exhorder helped birth the groove metal template before most bands knew what to call it, and their 2019 reformation brought that signature Southern heaviness roaring back into the conversation. Equal parts thrash ferocity and swampy mid-tempo swing, they remain one of the Crescent City's most important contributions to extreme metal.

Connecticut's Exhortation have been hammering out uncompromising death metal since 2016, channeling the region's underground intensity into punishing, riff-forward compositions. Their approach is rooted in classic death metal craft — no frills, no concessions, just dense and purposeful brutality.

Toms River, New Jersey's Eye of Anubis have been refining their melodic death/groove metal hybrid since 2013, built around Egyptian mythology and punishing mid-tempo riffing. They pull the melodic death metal template toward heavier, more grooving territory — anthemic without sacrificing weight.

A groove-driven force out of Capon Bridge, Virginia, F.E.A.R. merges the heavy, riff-locked churn of groove metal with the aggressive vocal attack of metalcore, carving out their sound since 2014.
