Portland, OR · 2018–present · active
Portland, Oregon's Silver Talon play heavy and power metal steeped in the classic '80s tradition, bringing muscular riffing and soaring vocals to a city better known for its doom and black metal scenes.

Pittsburgh, PA · 2013–present · active
Pittsburgh's Silverblood have been delivering American power metal since 2013, channeling the anthemic, fist-raised spirit of the genre's European forebears through a Rust Belt lens. Their sound combines muscular riffwork with the kind of dramatic, sky-reaching vocal delivery the style demands.
Hewitt, NJ · 2020–present · active
Hewitt, New Jersey's Sirens formed in 2020 working across metalcore, deathcore, and death metal, combining breakdown-driven aggression with increasingly extreme sonic territory and reflecting the evolution of the East Coast heavy music scene.
Los Angeles, CA · 2014–present · active
Los Angeles outfit formed in 2014 who fuse the twin-guitar melodicism of Scandinavian death metal with power metal's soaring sensibility, resulting in music that is both technically demanding and built around hooky, anthemic structures. Their sound draws equally from In Flames-era melodeath and the more grandiose end of American power metal.
Branford, CT · 2021–present · active
Branford, Connecticut progressive and power metal band formed in 2021, blending the melodic grandeur and technical ambition of classic progressive metal with power metal's focus on soaring dynamics and clean vocal strength. Connecticut's proximity to New England's long tradition of progressive rock and metal gives Sixth House a deep well to draw from.
