One of Portland, Maine's longer-running heavy acts, Eastern Spell has been casting their particular brand of sludge-doom since 2013 — dense, slow-burning songs where the misery accumulates like snowpack.
The name says it all and nothing at once: Ventura, California's Easy Death makes stoner doom that's anything but painless, trading in heavy psych riffs and the kind of lumbering grooves that make time feel elastic.
Founded in 2024, Easy Way is a depressive atmospheric black metal project with roots in American DSBM tradition — cold, interior, and built from the kind of suffering that doesn't announce itself loudly.
New York's Eat Lead formed in 2019 to play the kind of crossover thrash that sounds like it was raised on hardcore matinees and late-night thrash tapes — fast, mean, and allergic to subtlety.
Out of Ojai, California since 2019, this band lives at the collision point of grindcore, death metal, and powerviolence — short songs, maximum hostility, zero tolerance for restraint.
A Ventura, California death-grind act with over a decade behind them, Eat the Living has consistently delivered the kind of gore-soaked, blast-heavy brutality their name promises.
New Orleans has long been a breeding ground for slow, nasty heaviness, and Eat the Witch has been part of that tradition since 2014 — doom-drenched stoner metal with a swampy, occult undercurrent.
Chicago's Eat Their Own fuses black and death metal into something antagonistic and unapologetic, a product of a city with a long tradition of underground extremity that dates back to their 2015 formation.
Lucas, Texas grindcore since 2014 — Eaten keeps it short, fast, and punishing, with the kind of no-frills approach that made grind powerful in the first place.
