Ripping Progressive Death Metal / Metalcore from Denton.
Nashville's answer to the crossroads of southern grit and metalcore aggression, channeling courthouse swagger and chainsaw riffs into a sound that feels like a front-porch confrontation gone sideways.
Grief-stricken metalcore from Denton.
Wisconsin thrash/death metallers from Silver Lake who have been tearing through the rural Midwest since 2016, fusing the neck-snapping momentum of thrash with the malevolent texture of death metal.
Brooklyn's Ikillya has spent over a decade sharpening a sound that pits thrash aggression against metalcore intensity and groove metal swagger, forging something street-hardened and distinctly New York.
St. Louis metalcore outfit Immolate have built a reputation in Missouri's underground since 2011 — heavy enough to satisfy death metal ears, structured enough to deliver genuine hooks.
Minneapolis' Immoralis occupies a crowded intersection — symphonic arrangements, melodic death metal hooks, and metalcore urgency — executed with the compositional ambition the Twin Cities underground tends to reward.
Nashville's In Dead Cold have been fusing melodic death metal's hook-driven fury with metalcore's rhythmic punch since 2008, a rare southern voice in a genre typically claimed by colder climates.
