Los Angeles' Dark Prophecy have been forging blackened death/thrash metal since 2013, drawing on the city's legacy of extreme metal extremity to craft music that's technically sharp and unrelentingly aggressive.
Operating out of Oakford, Pennsylvania since 2020, Dark Prophet deliver death/thrash metal with a directness that suits the suburban Philadelphia underground — no frills, just riffs.
Placentia, California's Dark Prophet throw groove metal into their death/thrash foundation, the added pocket and midrange weight distinguishing them from more straightforward acts in the same lane.
Lansing, Michigan's Dark Psychosis have been fusing black and thrash metal since 2004, a two-decade run that's kept them rooted in the Midwest underground while developing a distinctly blackened thrashing attack.
Seymour, Tennessee's Dark Requiem work in black/thrash metal territory, a 2021 formation that brings the hills and hollers of East Tennessee an appropriately ominous and speed-driven sound.
A rural Ohio heavy metal band from West Mansfield, Dark Revenant have been at it since 2014, keeping traditional metal alive in a part of the state far from any major scene but no less committed for it.
Chicago's Dark Ritual have been delivering heads-down thrash metal since 2015, part of a city scene that has long nurtured underground metal with genuine intensity and minimal compromise.
Bristol, Rhode Island's Dark Ritual sit at the slower, heavier end of things — stoner and doom metal built for long drives and longer nights, a band that lets riffs breathe and atmosphere do the work.
From Manistique in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, this Dark Ritual project brings a remote, isolated character to their black metal — the kind of geography that breeds music that sounds genuinely alone.
