Trenton, New Jersey death metal project with two albums spanning 2020 to 2025. Ghost and In the Shadows of Your Memory deliver atmospheric death metal that explores themes of memory and haunting from the Garden State's capital.
Queens, New York death metal act whose 2021 EP Space Adaptation Syndrome applies NASA medical terminology to extreme music. Death metal that sounds like it was recorded in zero gravity — disorienting and crushing.
Ruthless Death Metal from Sherman.
North Dakota grindcore act bringing blistering micro-blasts from one of America's most sparsely populated states, channeling isolation into ferocious sonic violence.
Chicago grindcore band tearing through the Windy City's aggressive music scene with unrelenting blasts and grinding fury, contributing to the city's extreme music legacy.
Death metal and grindcore project of undisclosed origin whose 2023 releases — including Breathplay In D Standard — make their thematic fixation aggressively literal. Transgressive grind that pushes every boundary of taste.
New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania black metal project from a town whose name provides ironic biblical resonance for anti-religious music. Minimal output from rural western PA.
New York City power metal project. The aspirational name matches the genre's inherent optimism — triumphant metal reaching skyward from the city's underground.
Buffalo, New York metalcore and thrash hybrid whose 2018 debut The Undying delivers aggressive, melodically charged heaviness from Western New York's hardscrabble metal scene.
