please update this band

El Paso's Core Fire bring heavy metal and thrash metal together from the Texas-New Mexico border, forging a sound shaped by the city's isolated desert geography and its position between two major metal scenes. Their music carries the no-frills directness of a border town with something to prove.

Fort Worth death metal outfit delivering punishing riffs and guttural aggression rooted in the Texas underground. Their sound draws on old-school brutality with a modern edge.

Rochester doom and stoner metal duo crafting slow, heavy dirges drenched in fuzz and atmosphere. Their riffs move like slow-rolling thunder, built for maximum weight.

Georgia-based progressive metal artist from Calhoun whose compositions emphasize technical precision and melodic depth. His work weaves intricate arrangements into a cohesive, evolving sound.

Petaluma's Cormorant blend black and death metal with folk textures and progressive ambition across sweeping, literary-minded albums. They are one of the most ambitious DIY metal acts in the American underground.

Salt Lake City act fusing melodic death metal sensibilities with thrash aggression and brutal death metal weight. Their sound is fast, hook-laden, and relentlessly intense.

Aurora, Illinois outfit blending doom and traditional heavy metal into crushing, atmosphere-laden compositions. Expect thick riffs and a dark, vintage heaviness.

Raleigh black metal act conjuring raw, icy darkness out of the North Carolina underground. Their music leans into the grim, lo-fi aesthetic of classic second-wave black metal.
