Santa Cruz's Death Monk dissolve black metal, drone, and doom into long, psychedelic rituals that feel like watching a Pacific coast storm roll in — slow, immense, and spiritually disorienting. A genuine outlier in the California underground.
Fierce Black 'n' Roll from Austin.
Asheville's Death Nebula expand progressive doom into vast, unhurried spaces where heaviness and melodic ambition coexist in orbit. Formed in 2020, they carry the weight of the Blue Ridge Mountains in every slow-burning riff.
Fierce Groove Metal / Metalcore from Austin.
Fort Myers' Death of Cain deal in raw, primitive black metal stripped down to its most primitive and hateful essentials. Emerging in 2025, they bring Florida's underground a new voice dripping with frost and spite.
Atlanta's Death of Kings have been sharpening the blade of heavy and thrash metal since 2010, channeling classic Southern aggression through a no-frills, riff-first mentality. They play it heavy, direct, and loud.
Denver's Death of Self grind with relentless hostility, compressing maximum chaos into minimum runtime in the true grindcore tradition. Since 2016, they've been one of Colorado's most ferocious blasts of controlled noise.
Pittsburgh's Death of the Family combine death and thrash metal into a visceral, streetwise assault that reflects the Steel City's hard-edged heritage. Formed in 2021, they're newcomers with old-school brutality in their blood.
Fort Wayne's Death on Fire meld melodic hooks with thrash metal's kinetic drive and death metal's menace, creating a sound that burns on multiple fronts simultaneously. Since 2019 they've been one of Indiana's most combustible live acts.
