Vicious Thrash Metal / Crossover out of Texas.
Blind One Came were a death metal band from Bogotá, Colombia, active from 2009 until splitting up sometime after 2013. Their sole full-length, Remnants, was released in 2010, and the band appeared on the Patria Extrema Vol. 1 compilation in 2013.
Blitzkid is a horror punk band from Bluefield, West Virginia, formed in early 1997 by vocalist/guitarist TB Monstrosity and vocalist/bassist Argyle Goolsby, drawing directly from the Misfits template of B-movie imagery and melodic hardcore. The duo released five studio albums between 1999 and 2012, logged 260 live dates in 2006 alone, and performed at Germany's Summer Breeze Open Air festival before 40,000 people in 2007. AllMusic noted the pair's melodic vocal approach as a standout quality in the horror punk subgenre; the band broke up in 2012 and reformed in 2020.
Relentless Thrash Metal / Crossover from Dallas.
Blood Divisions is a Florida heavy metal collective formed in 2015, founded by Chris Jericho (Fozzy, WWE), guitarist David Austin (Nasty Savage), and Ed Aborn, with additional participants drawn from bands including Obituary. Conceived as a charitable project paying homage to Florida's heavy metal roots, the band released a self-titled EP in 2015 and the Cardinal One EP via Metal Blade Records in March 2017. Their sound channels classic American heavy metal riff structures with contributions from the state's longstanding metal community.
Boston's Blood for Blood were one of the hardest and most controversial bands in the '90s hardcore scene, blending metallic hardcore with street punk grit and unflinching working-class anger. Vocalist Buddha's menacing delivery on albums like 'Revenge on Society' and 'Spit My Last Breath' made the band a lightning rod for both devotion and criticism. Their raw, no-apologies approach to hardcore influenced a generation of tough-guy hardcore bands that followed.
Razor-sharp Groove / Thrash Metal / Punk out of Texas.
Denver's Blood Incantation have become the most critically acclaimed death metal band of their generation by channeling cosmic themes through technically dazzling, progressive songwriting. Their 2019 album 'Hidden History of the Human Race' was hailed as a modern death metal masterpiece, while 2022's ambient album 'Timewave Zero' showed their willingness to abandon metal entirely when the creative vision demands it. They bring an intellectual depth and sonic ambition to extreme metal that recalls early Morbid Angel at their most exploratory.
