Corpus Christi, Texas black metal project. Nihilistic totality from the Gulf Coast.
Madison, Wisconsin post-metal and sludge project. Geographic completeness — every line of longitude — from the Midwest's most progressive college town.
Vinton, Louisiana black metal project drawing from the swamplands of Cajun country. Two releases of raw, lo-fi black metal that feel haunted by the bayou humidity and Southern Gothic atmosphere.
Wausau, Wisconsin groove metal/metalcore act delivering hook-driven heaviness from the upper Midwest. A small-town band punching above their weight with polished production and anthemic songwriting.
Newburgh, New York metalcore veterans who helped define the metallic hardcore sound of the late 90s. Celestial Rot continues their legacy of punishing, mosh-ready aggression decades into their career.
Boston supergroup pulling members from Converge, The Hope Conspiracy, and Bloodhorse. Their grinding, blackened hardcore strips any pretense of melody in favor of pure, seething aggression across a substantial discography.
Oakland, California deathcore pioneers and one of the genre's most influential acts. Their technical, melodically sophisticated approach helped elevate deathcore beyond simple breakdown worship.
Wareham, Massachusetts heavy metal band channeling classic NWOBHM and traditional metal energy. Their self-titled debut and acoustic follow-up show a band comfortable both plugged in and stripped down.
Arizona atmospheric black metal project crafting immersive, nature-inspired black metal since 2014. Three releases explore themes of desolation and transcendence through layered tremolo work and ambient passages.
