A Chicago death metal act founded in 2013, Moral Decay pursue the genre's classic brutal sensibility in a city with a deep underground metal tradition, prioritizing heaviness and aggression over technical flash.

Provo, Utah's Moray have been active since 2008, navigating a hybrid space between post-black metal's atmospheric sweep and thrash metal's aggressive momentum — an unusual pairing that suits the drama of Utah's landscapes.
Boston's Morbid Blood take the blackened thrash template — vicious riffing, raw production, first-wave black metal aesthetics slammed into thrash's speed — and have been honing that caustic sound since their 2013 formation.
Vineland, New Jersey's Morbid Cross have been delivering straight-ahead thrash metal since 2019, keeping the genre's no-frills riff-first approach alive in a state with a long history of underground thrash activity.
Ferocious Thrash Metal from Alice.
San Diego black/thrash metal band active since 2014, blending the venomous attack of first-wave black metal with the driving velocity of thrash. Their sound draws on the sun-scorched ferocity that San Diego's underground scene has quietly cultivated.
