Fort Worth heavy metal band bringing classic metal sensibility and hook-driven songwriting to the North Texas scene. Their approach is rooted in the genre's traditional values — riffs, energy, and memorable choruses.
Denver black metal act drawing heavily on H.P. Lovecraft's cosmic horror mythology as lyrical and atmospheric fodder. Their sound pairs bleak, melodic black metal with genuinely unsettling thematic depth.
Devastating Deathcore from Kermit/Odessa.
Saugerties, New York band grinding through death metal and grindcore with short, abrasive blasts of extremity. Rooted firmly in the underground traditions of both genres, they favor speed and rawness.
Portland stoner metal project built on thick, slow-burning riffs and a hazy, psychedelic sensibility. Their material settles into a heavy, comfortable groove and rarely rushes toward anywhere in particular.
Rochester, New York thrash and hardcore crossover act channeling the aggressive energy of the mid-1980s crossover scene. Tight, fast, and confrontational, they're a natural fit for fans of both genres.
Louisville, Kentucky outfit blending groove and thrash metal with experimental tendencies that push their sound into genuinely unpredictable territory. Their compositions carry Kentucky's heavy underground spirit while defying easy categorization.
Austin death metal and grindcore band delivering short, brutal material with Texas underground credibility. Fast, loud, and uncompromising, they've been a fixture of the Austin extreme metal community.
Maywood, New Jersey act cutting across death metal, groove metal, and thrash with a sound built on rhythmic force and density. Their material hits with a blunt, physical impact.
