Salt Lake City metalcore project. The political theory concept applied to heavy music from Utah's capital.
Santa Cruz, California thrash metal project that performs in full orc costumes, bringing Tolkien's villains to life on stage. One of the most entertainingly committed concept bands in American metal.
Mansfield, Connecticut death metal project. The funereal name captures the essence of extreme music from rural northeastern Connecticut.
Melodic metalcore with soaring choruses from East Texas.
Saint Paul, Minnesota speed/thrash metal project. The rallying-cry name promises urgency and militancy from the Twin Cities.
South Bend, Indiana black/death metal project. The corvid-themed name — a 'murder' by another word — channels dark omens from the home of Notre Dame.
Seattle deathcore project whose name paints an urban apocalypse in five words. Emerald City in flames.
Phoenix, Arizona black metal project. The tropical ecosystem name contrasts sharply with the Sonoran Desert setting — perhaps longing for the cool, misty habitats that exist only in imagination here.
Bellingham, Washington sludge metal project with one of the most imaginative names in the underground. The mythological curio cabinet title promises something genuinely weird from the Pacific Northwest.
