Bellville, Ohio death metal project with two releases since 2009. Inhuman and The All Seeing Eye deliver conspiratorial, war-themed death metal from rural north-central Ohio.
Ohio grindcore project whose 2024 split with Tomb Perfume channels botanical grotesquerie through grinding extremity. Named after a real organism that shoots spore masses — a perfect metaphor for their explosive sound.
Cleveland death metal act unleashing brutal savagery from the shores of Lake Erie, continuing Northeast Ohio's seemingly endless pipeline of quality extreme metal.
Winnetka, California thrash metal project from the San Fernando Valley. The craftsperson name suggests a meticulous approach to thrash metal's construction.
Athens, Georgia power metal project with six releases since 2012, including the numbered series culminating in IV: The Grey. The sci-fi themed Droid Works EP and military-artistic name blend creative and martial imagery from the Classic City.
Intricate Progressive Heavy Metal from San Antonio, Texas (early); Philadephia, Pennsylvania (mid); Los Angeles, California (later).
Riverside, California death metal project named after the Dark Souls character, bringing video game-inspired darkness to the Inland Empire's underground with crushing heaviness.
California folk metal wanderer blending pagan themes with metallic heft, exploring mythological territory through a distinctly West Coast lens.
New York black metal project with seven releases since 2015. Their catalog — including a Best Of compilation and ongoing EPs — reveals a band treating black metal as an evolving artistic practice, the simple name stripping away pretension.
