Humble, Texas death-thrash band delivering the kind of punishing riff-heavy metal that has long thrived in the Houston-area underground. Their music is aggressive, direct, and unashamedly brutal.
Clovis, California death-thrash outfit delivering high-velocity riff assaults from the Central Valley's underground scene. Their sound leans on classic genre mechanics executed with directness and conviction.
Salt Lake City's Crypted Roots combine death metal's sonic aggression with thrash metal's punishing velocity, crafting music that moves fast and hits hard. Their Utah roots inform an isolation and intensity in their recordings.
Worcester, Massachusetts' Crypter weld black metal's icy atmosphere to thrash metal's relentless propulsion, producing ferocious, riff-driven songs with a distinctly Northeast edge. Their material moves with urgency and controlled menace.
Fort Wayne, Indiana's Cryptic blend black and death metal into a dense, extreme sound with roots in the American underground. Their approach draws from both genres' most severe tendencies.
Razor-sharp Melodic Thrash Metal out of Texas.
One-man black/thrash project out of Kelseyville, California in the rural Lake County highlands, crafting raw and aggressive metal from a solitary perspective. The project remains independent and underground, releasing material across multiple metal platforms.
