Chattanooga, Tennessee death metal and hardcore band channeling Southern aggression through the collision of two of heavy music's most punishing subgenres. Their music hits with the combined force of both scenes' most brutal impulses.
Lucerne Valley, CA death metal outfit that layers progressive song structures over technically demanding riffwork. Their sound blurs the line between brutality and cerebral complexity.
San Antonio doom/sludge band that buries listeners under slow, crushing riffs and a suffocating low-end. Their bleak sonic weight reflects the heaviest strains of Southern sludge.
Kenosha, WI power/speed/thrash band that channels the blazing energy of late-80s metal into tight, riff-forward songwriting. Their sound honors the genre's classic roots while hitting hard.
Minneapolis melodic death and metalcore band that balances melodic hooks with dense, driving heaviness. They pull from both Scandinavian death metal and the aggressive side of American metalcore.
Buffalo, NY groove metal and metalcore band that combines hard-swinging rhythmic heaviness with the intensity of modern metalcore. Their sound hits like a sledgehammer with a purpose.
Portland, OR death/grind act that keeps things short, brutal, and to the point. They fuse the clinical ferocity of death metal with the breakneck pace of grindcore.
Boston doom and stoner metal band that builds massive, slow-rolling riffs on a foundation of fuzz and psychedelia. Their music has the density of stone and the haze of desert heat.
New York death doom band that moves between sepulchral dirges and bursts of death metal aggression. Their songs carry real emotional weight, steeped in despair and murky heaviness.
