Minneapolis progressive/thrash band that brings technical ambition and dynamic range to a genre often defined by speed alone. They are as comfortable with shifting time signatures as they are with full-throttle riffing.
Seattle black and symphonic metal band that layers orchestral grandeur over black metal's icy ferocity. Their sound is cinematic in scope, drawing on the gloom and grandeur of the Pacific Northwest.
Kansas City doom and funeral doom band whose post-metal atmosphere stretches songs into vast, mournful landscapes. Their music moves with glacial patience and devastating emotional weight.
St. Petersburg, FL doom metal band that crafts slow, heavy music steeped in the humid oppressiveness of the Florida underground. Their riffs sink like anchors and linger long after the last note fades.
Expansive Atmospheric Black / Post-Metal out of Texas.
Virginia brutal death metal act that weaponizes speed, blast beats, and guttural extremity. Their name says it all — they deal in punishment at the outer limits of the genre.
Scorching Death / Black Metal out of Texas.
Georgia progressive death/thrash band that works existential menace into technically sophisticated songwriting. Their music is expansive and unnerving, built on shifting riff patterns and relentless forward momentum.
Denver death/thrash band that conjures something ancient and menacing from well-worn genre forms. Their riff-forward approach stays rooted in classic extremity with a sufficiently heavy cosmic bent.
