Indianapolis stoner metal act riding thick, fuzzy grooves through the Circle City's underground, blending space-rock ambition with doom-laden heaviness.
Omaha, Nebraska death metal project whose 2013 releases — FUCK YOUR PLANET and its companion YOUR FUCKED PLANET — deliver nihilistic extremity with a profane sense of humor. Anti-cosmic death metal from the Great Plains.
Rochester, New York doom metal project with five releases since 2021. Their catalog — from the Black Sabbath-channeling Space Grass single to the ambitious Deus Ex Machina — blends classic doom worship with cosmic themes from Western New York.
Williamsburg, Virginia progressive metal band exploring expansive sonic landscapes from the historic Colonial Capital, blending technical precision with atmospheric grandeur.
Brownsville, Texas black metal project — one of the southernmost metal acts in the US, operating from the Mexican border. Three releases since 2015 channel astronomical themes through atmospheric black metal from the Rio Grande Valley.
Cincinnati/Dayton, Ohio black metal project with twelve releases since 2022. An extraordinarily prolific act whose Cosmic Projections Collection and subsequent albums build an immense catalog of celestially themed black metal from the Ohio River Valley.
Black metal project that migrated from Portland to Atlanta. Their 2022 single ,and its consequences — with its deliberately unconventional punctuation — suggests a literary, post-modern approach to extreme music.
Santa Fe, New Mexico black metal project whose elaborate name hints at cosmic ritual themes, channeling the high desert's mystical energy into atmospheric extremity.
Providence, Rhode Island black metal project with two releases since 2022. Mons Martyrum ('mountain of martyrs') and The Mountains Swallow Us pair religious suffering with geological imagery through atmospheric black metal.
