Conway, Arkansas progressive metal project with nine releases since 2006. Two decades of ambitious, ear-focused prog metal — the name means the outer part of the ear — make them one of the longest-running underground acts in the Natural State.
Washington, DC stoner metal project whose 2012 self-titled EP channels the alchemical ouroboros through heavy grooves. Capital-city fuzz worship with mythological aspirations.
Austin crossover thrash/hardcore act distinguishing themselves with the TX suffix, delivering pit-ready aggression from the Live Music Capital with punk-fueled intensity.
Baltimore black metal and funeral doom project with four releases since 2016. Named after a cheap solvent inhaled by Romanian street children, their music channels that same desperate, impoverished atmosphere through the bleakest extremes of heavy music.
Chicago death metal project with fourteen releases since 2010. One of the Windy City's most prolific extreme acts, their catalog spans samplers, singles, and Lovecraftian-themed tracks like Black Goat of The Woods across a decade and a half.
West Covina black/melodic death metal hybrid blending dark atmospherics with melodic hooks, contributing to the San Gabriel Valley's underground metal output.
Fredericksburg, Virginia black metal act whose name means 'dawn of death,' channeling the region's Civil War battlefield history into atmospheric extremity.
Virginia Beach death metal band bringing unholy extremity to the Hampton Roads area, contributing to Tidewater Virginia's active heavy music community.
Montana black metal act whose provocative and controversial name reflects the genre's long tradition of boundary-pushing shock tactics from the Northern Rockies.
