Out of Webster Springs, West Virginia, Dead Eternity bring melodic heavy metal and hard rock to one of the state's most remote corners, formed in 2025 with the kind of anthemic conviction that feels shaped by isolation. Their sound looks outward even when the hills close in.
Nashua, New Hampshire's Dead Harrison fuse doom's meditative weight with stoner metal's psychedelic warmth, forming a hazy, riff-worshipping sound since 2014 that draws equally from classic heavy metal and smoke-filled basement jams.
Formed in 2016, Dead Heat deal in straightforward, sweat-drenched heavy metal that keeps its head down and its riffs loud. Unpretentious and built for live stages, they channel the timeless energy of a band with nothing to prove but everything to play.
Citrus Hills' Dead River play heavy metal with a traditional bent, rooted in the fundamentals — big riffs, driving rhythms, and a commitment to the basics the genre was built on. No gimmicks, just straightforward heavy metal delivered with conviction.
Missoula's Dead Sirius play heavy metal shaped by the isolation of Montana, where big open spaces breed a particular kind of focused, unpretentious approach to the genre. Formed in 2018, they make the kind of heavy rock-influenced metal the mountains seem to produce naturally.
Denver's Dead Temple pair traditional heavy metal with the ponderous weight of doom, constructing riff-driven music that feels genuinely timeless. Since 2015 they've been one of Colorado's more reliable proponents of guitar-forward, no-frills heavy metal.
Olympia, Washington's Deadbeat Blackout bring a hard rock swagger to heavy metal, roughing up the genre's cleaner edges with the DIY spirit their Pacific Northwest home is known for. Formed in 2018, they're a bar-band-at-its-best proposition for fans of hooks and muscle.
Cleveland's Deadiron draw from the city's blue-collar grit, forging heavy and power metal with workmanlike conviction since 2012. Their 216 area code Bandcamp handle is a point of pride for a city that takes its metal seriously.
