Buffalo, New York stoner metal unit Cobra Tits bring a thick slab of fuzz and irreverent attitude to the upstate New York heavy music scene. Their no-frills approach leans into bong-crusted grooves and blunt-force riffage.
Denver groove and stoner metal band Cobranoid blend sludgy bottom-end with locked-in rhythmic punch and an attitude to match. They're a reliable fixture in Colorado's heavy underground, serving up beefy riffs with swagger.
Oakland, California thrash and heavy metal band Cobweb pull from the Bay Area's legendary thrash tradition while keeping one foot in classic metal territory. Their music has the gritty, street-level intensity that Oakland's underground is known for.
Muncie, Indiana's Cocaine Culture are a genre-defying chaos engine drawing from black, death, doom, sludge, and alternative metal in equal and unsettling measure. The result is a dense, disorienting sound that refuses easy categorization.
One-person Queer Anti-fascist Cop-punching Grindcore with short, fast songs about crushing the systems of oppression.
Thibodaux, Louisiana sludge metal band Cocaine Sermon channel the swampy, oppressive heaviness that southern sludge does best. Their music is thick with bayou rot and the kind of slow-burning dread that the Gulf South breeds naturally.
Seattle brutal death and slam metal band Cocksmack deliver punishing low-tuned brutality with the guttural, bowel-shaking intensity that slam devotees crave. They're a nasty entry in the Pacific Northwest's surprisingly strong brutal death underground.
Devastating Death Metal out of Texas.
Sterling Heights, Michigan progressive and power metal band Coda blend melodic ambition with technical craft, reflecting the Detroit area's underappreciated progressive metal tradition. Their sound moves between arena-ready power and complex structural dynamics.
