Chicago's ElderSkald takes the heavy/progressive metal combination seriously, building technically accomplished music with real compositional depth since 2017. The Windy City's metal scene provides a sturdy backdrop for a band that prizes craft.
Draper, Utah's Elderwood draws on atmospheric folk and black metal traditions to evoke the ancient forests and wide landscapes that sit just beyond the Wasatch Front. Active since 2016, the band channels a pastoral, deeply rooted mysticism.
Philadelphia's Elderwyrm crawls through the fertile ground between stoner and doom metal since forming in 2022, the serpentine name matching a sound built on slow, coiling heaviness and fuzz-thick riffs. Classic Philly grit runs underneath the haze.
A California-based outfit formed in 2023, Eldon Cult merges progressive structures with the melodic and brutal ends of death metal, crafting technically ambitious music that refuses to sit still within any single subgenre.
Richmond's Eldritch have spent well over a decade warping the death/doom template with psychedelic currents, producing music that feels both ancient and hallucinatory — slow, murky, and deeply strange.
One of death metal's quiet veterans, Eldritch Horror have been grinding out straightforward, no-frills death metal from Raleigh since 1991, accumulating decades of underground credibility without ever softening their approach.
Dallas thrashers Eldritch Rite deal in the occult end of thrash metal — tight, aggressive riffs with a ritualistic menace running through everything they do since forming in 2013.
Solo symphonic/viking metal project by multi-instrumentalist Christoph V., combining majestic orchestral arrangements with heavy 7-string guitar work and Norse mythological themes.
A Montana solo project born in 2021, Eldvargr deals in raw black metal stripped to its most primal and hostile — thin production and unyielding misanthropy suited to the vast, cold terrain of the American Northwest.
