Cleveland, Ohio power metal project named after the Egyptian sun god. Solar majesty through the Rock City's melodic tradition.
Los Angeles NWOTHM project. The absence of monarchy — musical rebellion through classic heavy metal.
Denver deathcore newcomers who debuted in 2025 with Making Sense Of Our Decay. The EP delivers the crushing breakdowns and guttural punishment the genre demands, arriving from a Colorado scene increasingly fertile for extreme music.
Tampa, Florida melodic death metal project. Walking among titans in the city that raised them.
El Paso, Texas metalcore and thrash project named after the Anthrax album. Border city aggression paying tribute to Big Four legacy.
Oklahoma City metalcore project. The absent — lost or disappeared — channeled through aggressive music.
Minneapolis sludge metal project. Ophidian imagery rendered in crushing Twin Cities heaviness.
San Jose, California death metal project. Drowning in Bay Area extremity.
Stevens Point, Wisconsin grindcore act who dropped the Drifter In The Woods EP in 2022. Brief, violent, and unrelenting — exactly what you want from a grind band operating out of small-town Wisconsin.
