Dayton, Ohio's Covered in Scars combine death metal aggression with the mid-tempo swagger of groove metal, built on thick riffs and hard-hitting drums. Their sound is straightforward and heavy, rooted in the Midwest's no-nonsense approach to extreme music.
Philadelphia death/grind band Covered in Sores work in the ugly, fast-and-filthy tradition of bands that made both genres infamous — short songs, intense bursts, no mercy. They fit naturally into Philly's deep history of extreme underground acts.
Covidectomy are a US brutal death/slam deathcore project whose name announces exactly how seriously they take genre conventions. Their music wallows in the most extreme end of slam and brutal death metal, built entirely for fans of maximum grotesque density.
Minneapolis death/grind band Covven churn through blasting extremity with the raw energy of grindcore and the compositional weight of death metal. They're part of the Twin Cities' active and eclectic heavy underground.
Santa Rosa black metal outfit channeling bleak, atmospheric menace through raw production and unrelenting hostility. Their sound is sparse and suffocating, built on repetition and cold dissonance.
Columbus duo fusing abrasive crust punk with primitive black metal into something genuinely ugly and confrontational. Short, caustic bursts of noise that leave no room for comfort.
New Jersey sludge outfit whose slow, crushing riffs drag through tar and feedback with little mercy. Their material leans into heavy repetition and a palpable sense of self-destruction.
New York doom and sludge act that wallows in oppressive tempos and dense, distorted heaviness. Their sound sits at the intersection of grief and fury, slow-burning and suffocating.
Portland oddity blending power metal bombast with doom weight and grindcore aggression in ways that shouldn't work but somehow do. Their catalog is unpredictable and deliberately genre-defiant.
