Seattle, WA · 2019–present · active
Seattle's Errluum fuses progressive metal's compositional ambition with power metal's anthemic drive, balancing technical complexity with the kind of melodic momentum that makes long-form songs feel earned rather than indulgent. Formed in 2019, the band treats the album format as a vehicle for genuinely epic storytelling.
Portland, OR · 2019–present · active
Portland's Erroneous drags black metal's frostbitten fury into doom's oppressive slow tempos, producing music that is as bleak as either genre alone but distinct from both. Since 2019 the band has leaned into the collision between speed-stripped doom and the misanthropic atmosphere of black metal.
San Francisco, CA · 2015–present · active
San Francisco's Errorgeist fuses industrial metal's mechanical precision and metallic texture with death metal's ferocity, treating programmed and processed sounds as weapons alongside more conventional brutality. Formed in 2015, the band approaches the intersection of machine and flesh as inherently hostile territory.

Columbus, OH · 2012–present · active
Columbus, Ohio's Erthbrnr began in the chaos of hardcore and crust punk before migrating toward a darker, heavier convergence of black metal, death metal, and sludge. Over more than a decade the band has undergone a genuine stylistic evolution, using each phase as both rejection and extension of the one before.
San Diego, CA · 2023–present · active
San Diego's Erusopxecinomeddetaeperhguorhtserisednamuhllafonoitacidarecitametsys — whose name is itself an act of defiance against legibility — practices raw black metal in the most confrontational and uncompromising sense, rejecting accessibility at every level from naming to production to ideology. Formed in 2023, the project treats obscurantism as a principled stance.
San Antonio, TX · 2004–present · on hold
Blasphemous Death / Black Metal / Grindcore from San Antonio.
Las Vegas, NV · 2004–present · active
Las Vegas' Escape the Fate rode the wave of mid-2000s post-hardcore with their debut 'Dying Is Your Latest Fashion,' featuring original vocalist Ronnie Radke's theatrical screams and pop hooks. After Radke's departure and Craig Mabbitt's arrival, the band shifted toward a more metalcore and glam-influenced direction on albums like 'This War Is Ours' and 'Ungrateful.' Their capacity for reinvention and knack for arena-ready choruses have kept them touring consistently for nearly two decades.
Hillsborough, NC · 2016–present · active
Hillsborough, North Carolina's Escaping Aghartha conjures blackened doom built around the mythic concept of Agharta — the subterranean hidden world — using ambient darkness and slow, deliberate riffing to suggest something vast and unknowable beneath the surface. Since 2016, the project has developed a sound as much about space and dread as it is about heaviness.
