Out of Ojai, California since 2019, this band lives at the collision point of grindcore, death metal, and powerviolence — short songs, maximum hostility, zero tolerance for restraint.
Brooklyn's Ebenezer has been working the power/thrash axis since 2011, channeling the twin-guitar bombast of classic power metal through the speed and aggression of thrash in a style that's remained distinct in New York's crowded underground.
Fort Wayne's Echosoul blend progressive and power metal into something ambitious and melodic, active since 2014 with a sound that favors technical development over brute force.
Chesapeake, Virginia's Edolus arrived in 2023 fusing melodic death metal sweep and power metal ambition into something muscular and tuneful. A young band with an already confident grip on harmony and extremity in equal measure.
Denver's Einherjar Incarnate has been forging heavy and power metal since 2016, drawing on the genre's twin pillars of riff-driven muscle and soaring melodic ambition. Equal parts Iron Maiden grandiosity and bruising mid-paced attack.
Highstown, New Jersey's Elegia have been delivering traditional power and speed metal since 2010, their songs built around soaring melodic ambition and the kind of riff gallop that lives somewhere between Running Wild and Riot.
New Orleans crossover thrash act Elimination have been knocking heads since 2009, bringing the Crescent City's deep-seated aggression to a genre that thrives on speed, chaos, and hardcore-punk intensity.
Anaheim's Elixir have been keeping the power metal flame burning in Southern California since 2008, dealing in soaring vocals, galloping double bass, and anthemic choruses built for arenas but honed in clubs.
Orlando thrash metal project from the Florida underground.
Virginia Beach's Emanon fuse the twin-guitar gallop of power metal with the hard-nosed crunch of thrash, landing somewhere between anthem and assault. Active since 2005, they bring a coastal punch to a sound built for open roads and raised fists.
Hailing from the Inland Empire city of Fontana, this California power metal outfit blends soaring clean vocals with twin-guitar harmonies that land somewhere between classic US heavy metal and European power metal pageantry.
A fresh arrival from Dayton's underground, Emerald Cauldron brew classic heavy metal and power metal together with an old-school sense of drama, conjuring something that feels pulled from a different era of the Midwest scene.
Kansas City's Emerald Eye arrived in 2021 with a power metal vision that favors epic song structures and melodic leads over flash, drawing from the genre's most triumphant traditions without irony.
Akron's Emerald Rage hit hard at the intersection of speed, power, and traditional heavy metal, delivering the kind of fist-pumping anthems and fleet-footed riffing that recalls the best of the Ohio metal underground.
Progressive melodic death metal featuring Nick Brady and Ryan Cullins on guitars with influences ranging from technical death to melodic hooks. Self-released their debut EP in 2013.
