San Francisco's Empty Suits channel blackened thrash with a punk backbone, dragging Bay Area aggression through the filth of second-wave black metal since 2019.
Melodic blackened death metal forged out of Sioux Falls, Empty Throne blend glacial atmosphere with visceral extremity — sweeping, dark, and arrived fully-formed in 2021.
Salem, Oregon's Empty Tomb meld thrash riffing with hardcore urgency, a relentless Pacific Northwest hybrid that hits fast and leaves little room to breathe.
Out of Moberly, Missouri, Empusa with Devastation channel melodic death metal and metalcore into something sharp and unsettled, a young band already reaching for vicious complexity since their 2023 formation.
Austin's Empyre graft symphonic ambition onto black metal's hostility, a combination that feels at home in a city where experimental extremity is never far from center stage.
Philadelphia groove-thrash unit Empyre Rock Club hit hard with a heads-down approach — fat grooves, thrash tempos, and the kind of riff economy that keeps crowds moving.
Littleton's Empyrean Eclipse have been pursuing melodic death metal since 2004, developing a Colorado-crafted approach that layers Nordic-influenced melody over technically sharp, muscular foundations.
Portland's Empyrean Fire entwine symphonic lushness with atmospheric black metal's vastness, building immersive soundscapes that mirror the Pacific Northwest's fog-heavy grandeur.
Chicago progressive metal act Empyrean Sanctum have been building intricate, searching compositions since 2013, favoring dynamic complexity over the city's heavier underground traditions.
