please update this band

Wisconsin's Merging with Machines have been pursuing a cold, mechanized vision of death metal since 2014, grafting industrial metal's processed textures and programmatic logic onto the genre's foundation of brutality. The result is music that feels inhuman in a deliberate way — the organic violence of death metal filtered through machinery, producing something both familiar and deeply unsettling.

Ventura, California's Monotremata have been crafting experimental industrial metal since 2006, incorporating dissonant textures and mechanical rhythms into music that sits at the uncomfortable edge between aggression and abstraction.

One of the longer-running black metal acts in Southern California, Santa Ana's Mordor have maintained their dark vision since 1994 — an impressive run for the Los Angeles area underground. Their name, drawn from Tolkien's realm of shadow, anchors them in the mythological and fantastical tradition of early European black metal.

Philadelphia's Mose Giganticus have been in continuous mutation since 2006, beginning in synth-punk and industrial metal before shifting toward a heavier progressive sludge sound — a band that has always valued sonic restlessness over genre consistency.
