Frederick, Maryland gothic metal band blending dark, atmospheric arrangements with melodic female-fronted vocals, drawing from the orchestral and melancholic traditions of European gothic metal.
Sacramento act blending technical death metal with progressive structures and thrash-driven aggression, channeling complex rhythmic shifts into a sound that feels both cerebral and visceral.
Cassius King traffic in slow, hazy heaviness out of Ramsey, NJ, combining doom's funeral weight with stoner rock's warm fuzz for a sound built on thick riffs and deliberate, oppressive pacing.
Cast Adrift from Dallas, NC merge melodic death metal's hook-forward songwriting with metalcore's rhythmic punch, leaning hard into dual-guitar melody over breakdowns.
Connecticut's Cast in Blood occupy the cross-section of melodic death and metalcore, favoring driving tempos and clean-to-harsh vocal contrast over the more abrasive end of the death metal spectrum.
Madison's Cast in Fire play straightforward death metal rooted in mid-tempo brutality and downtuned riffwork, with no frills — just dense, punishing heaviness delivered with workmanlike precision.
Baltimore's Cast upon the World fuse death metal's guttural intensity with deathcore's structural breakdowns, carving out a sound centered on abrupt tempo drops and suffocating low-end density.
Lakeland, FL's Castaway draw on both straightforward death metal and its melodic Scandinavian derivatives, building songs around tightly wound riff progressions and moments of atmospheric lead work.
Cincinnati's Casteless graft thrash metal's kinetic riff attack onto death metal's heavier tonal palette, producing a sound defined by high-speed picking and a raw, no-nonsense production sensibility.
