Cassius King traffic in slow, hazy heaviness out of Ramsey, NJ, combining doom's funeral weight with stoner rock's warm fuzz for a sound built on thick riffs and deliberate, oppressive pacing.
San Francisco's Castle deal in heavy, riff-forward doom with a traditional heavy metal backbone, favoring massive guitar tones and a bluesy, earth-shaking heaviness over experimental detours.
This California-based Castle play meat-and-potatoes heavy metal with roots in the classic tradition — straightforward song structures, melodic hooks, and a sound that owes as much to the NWOBHM as to anything modern.
Salt Lake City's Castleaxe play high-octane speed metal with a traditional heavy metal heart, built on twin guitar harmonies, galloping rhythms, and an unapologetically retro sensibility.
Michigan's Castles in Spain weave power metal's melodic grandeur into a progressive framework, favoring elaborate song structures and dynamic shifts over pure speed or blunt aggression.
