Kenosha, WI power/speed/thrash band that channels the blazing energy of late-80s metal into tight, riff-forward songwriting. Their sound honors the genre's classic roots while hitting hard.
Baltimore heavy metal band Court Jester play in the traditional mold — riff-driven songs, clean vocals, and a commitment to the classic structures that defined the genre in the 1980s. Their music is unpretentious and direct, made for fans of the form's roots.
Portland oddity blending power metal bombast with doom weight and grindcore aggression in ways that shouldn't work but somehow do. Their catalog is unpredictable and deliberately genre-defiant.
Baltimore duo fusing the raw filth of crust punk with sludge metal's lumbering brutality. Their sound is abrasive and uncompromising, carved out of the Chesapeake DIY underground.
Houston act colliding death metal ferocity with grinding velocity and unexpected power metal dynamics. An unlikely but punishing combination drawn from the deep well of Houston's extreme music scene.
Hudson, Massachusetts band blending power metal's melodic ambition with thrash's kinetic aggression. Crawlspace channels the dual-guitar attack and speed of the classic East Coast thrash era.
Pittsburgh power and progressive metal band building epic, melodically rich compositions with technical sophistication. Creature of Habit reflects the Steel City's tradition of craftsmanship and heaviness working in tandem.
Dallas death metal with a crushing old-school sound. Multiple releases on MNRK Heavy.
Manassas, Virginia outfit blending the melodic grandeur of power metal with the aggression of thrash, delivering anthemic riffs and high-velocity rhythm attacks in equal measure.
