Black/doom metal project of unknown origin named after the fourth book of the Lemegeton. Grimoire-derived heaviness.
Minnesota black metal and funeral doom project named after Ptolemy's astronomical treatise. Ancient stargazing rendered through the genre's slowest and coldest forms.
Cherry Hill, New Jersey black metal project. The name's association with seasonal cycles and agricultural knowledge adds earthy wisdom to suburban extremity.
Martinez, California groove metal project. The name's near-death proximity channels survival instinct through East Bay heaviness.
New Cumberland, Pennsylvania stoner metal/rock band crafting fuzz-soaked grooves rooted in Appalachian mysticism. The Hex of Penns Woods leans into regional folklore and occult themes through heavy, bluesy riffing.
Baltimore doom-inflected heavy rock drawing from the city's rich tradition of heavy music. Act One establishes a foundation of muscular, riff-driven heaviness with a classic rock swagger.
Scorching Black Metal from San Antonio.
El Paso, Texas metalcore project. Border city aggression at the western tip of the Lone Star State.
Honolulu heavy/power metal band — one of Hawaii's few dedicated metal acts. Active since 1999, they bring an unlikely tropical origin to a sound rooted firmly in European power metal tradition.
