Colossal Stoner / Doom Metal out of Texas.
Yorba Linda's Emphysema pull doom and death metal into a dense, suffocating collision, building songs that labor under their own weight with the slow-motion menace the subgenre demands.
Des Moines black metal act Empire have been working in the shadows since 2011, pursuing the genre's most raw and elemental qualities from the middle of a Midwest that rarely gets credit for its underground extremity.
Lansing's Empire Auriga occupy a precise and distinctive corner of the metal map, fusing black metal's atmospheric hostility with industrial texture and ambient structure in a way that has made them one of Michigan's more singular exports.
Brooklyn's Empire of Dust arrived in 2023 blending melodic thrash aggression with metalcore structure, channeling New York City's restless energy into a sound that moves between technical riffing and muscular breakdown momentum.
Phoenix's Empire of Pigs lock death metal's brutality into hardcore's confrontational directness, producing something lean and hostile that thrives in the extreme heat of Arizona's underground.
Detroit's Empire of the Wicked bring death metal to the Motor City's grim industrial backdrop, a new arrival whose name alone signals a zero-compromise approach to the genre's darkest traditions.
Minneapolis outfit Empires have been dragging doom and sludge through post-metal's murky corridors since 2008, building suffocating walls of slow-motion riff work layered with atmospheric texture.
Orlando's Emporos fuse melodic deathcore with punishing death metal, pairing razor-edged guitar harmonies against the kind of heavy breakdowns that Central Florida's pit crowd demands.
