Los Angeles post-metal and progressive project whose 2016 debut Temporal explores the nature of time through atmospheric, boundary-crossing heaviness. Cerebral LA metal.
Spokane, Washington progressive metal project whose 2019 Supermoon Edition and subsequent instrumental mixes demonstrate a precision-obsessed approach to heavy music. The name fits — every note measured with scientific accuracy.
Melodic progressive metal from Houston with art-rock grandeur.
Binghamton, New York progressive metal act from the Southern Tier, bringing technical ambition and compositional complexity to upstate New York's underground.
Portland, Maine avant-garde and progressive metal project. The name merges audio technology with absence, signaling an experimental approach to heavy music from New England's cultural hub.
Newport News, Virginia progressive metal project with four releases since 2012. Neo-Terran Front and Secret Language span a decade of ambitious, sci-fi-influenced prog from the Hampton Roads shipbuilding region.
Los Angeles progressive metal project with twelve releases since 2024. Their rapid-fire output — including the Amor Fati EP drawing on Nietzschean philosophy — builds one of the most prolific prog catalogs in recent LA history.
Conway, Arkansas progressive metal project with nine releases since 2006. Two decades of ambitious, ear-focused prog metal — the name means the outer part of the ear — make them one of the longest-running underground acts in the Natural State.
