Pittsburgh's Lord Humongous collide black metal's scathing atmosphere with thrash metal's driving aggression, arriving in 2023 with an aptly named wall of filthy energy.
Asheville's Lord of Diamonds blend thrash riffs, metalcore crunch, and death 'n' roll swagger into a rowdy, genre-defiant attack shaped by the mountains of western North Carolina.
Los Angeles doom metal act Lost Breed returned in 2025 after years away, dragging their slow, suffocating heaviness back into the light with zero urgency and maximum weight.
Pittsburgh's Lowstate forge progressive and thrash metal into something angular and driving, elevating technical ambition with blue-collar tightness since forming in 2013.
Pittsburgh's Lycosa have been building their venomous hybrid of sludge, thrash, and death metal since 2012, channeling the city's industrial grit into something punishing and groove-locked. Few bands make filth sound this methodical.
