Urbana, Illinois's Earth Witch has been channeling thick stoner metal since 2013, a landlocked Midwest band whose fuzzy, groove-heavy sound suggests something heavier than the surrounding cornfields might lead you to expect.
Yonkers, New York's Earthbound A.D. has been writing traditional heavy metal since 2011, drawing on the New York area's long metallic lineage with the kind of no-nonsense approach the genre has always rewarded.
Chicago's Earthburner is a death metal and grindcore project that launched in 2024, joining one of the country's strongest underground metal cities with a genre combination designed to do maximum damage in minimum time.
Brookfield, Illinois's Earthen has been crafting an unusual folk/gothic metal hybrid with ambient threads since 2005, a project that moves at its own pace and defies easy categorization in the Chicago suburb's quiet underground.
San Antonio's Earthen has been operating in the heavy doom metal tradition since 2005, a Texas band that moves at a funeral pace and draws on the long shadows the state's harder rock history casts over everything beneath it.
A Portland atmospheric black metal act that emerged in 2023, Earthen Altar works within a tradition the Pacific Northwest helped build — vast, bleak, and evocative of landscapes that dwarf the people moving through them.
Chicago's Earthen Grave has been writing a doom/thrash hybrid since 2012 — a combination that's more coherent than it sounds, letting heavy riffs breathe while never losing the genre's underlying tension and drive.
Denver's Earthen Tongue, active since 2015, merges doom metal's weight with the colder textures of black metal, producing something appropriately bleak for a band with "666" in their Bandcamp handle.
Eugene, Oregon's Earthenwomb has been navigating experimental black metal and noise since 2008, a project that refuses to play it straight — unsettling, abrasive, and genuinely strange in ways that keep the genre alive.
