Underground psychedelic doom conjuring dark fantasy and occult allegory. Featured on the 'Doomed & Stoned in Texas' compilation.
San Marcos, TX doom and stoner metal band that mixes heavy psych fuzz with the dirge-like pace of traditional doom. They ride the slow burn of Texas heat into heavy, hazy oblivion.
Los Angeles grindcore band that delivers brief, ferocious blasts of controlled chaos. Their music is surgical in its brutality — fast, hostile, and over before you can process what hit you.
Cornwall, NY black metal act whose misanthropic aggression channels the bleakest strains of the genre. Their music is raw and uncompromising, built for darkness and isolation.
Champaign, IL doom and stoner metal band that exhales enormous, fuzz-drenched riffs at a pace that borders on ceremonial. Their music is heavy in the way weather systems are heavy.
Maryville, TN black metal band that approaches the genre with cold conviction and an ear for raw, unfiltered atmosphere. Their music is grim and unrelenting, rooted in the darkness of the Appalachian South.
Charlotte, NC doom and stoner metal band that builds slow, towering walls of fuzz and feeds them through reverb-soaked amplifiers. They have a flair for the dramatic and the catastrophically heavy.
Lyndon Station, WI doom and stoner metal band that sounds like they found something buried and forgotten in the Wisconsin countryside and turned it into riffs. Slow, heavy, and unhurried.
Maryland-area technical death and deathcore act that brings precision and ferocity to bear in equal measure. Their compositions are technically demanding without losing sight of sheer destructive power.
