Seattle's Ebony Pendant emerged in 2019 with a black metal sound that draws from the Pacific Northwest's deep well of gloom — raw-edged and ceremonial, belonging to a city with no shortage of darkness to mine.
Findlay, Ohio's Ebullism takes the technical death metal template and applies it with clinical precision, a 2020-formed act that favors surgical complexity over brute force, even when those two things end up sounding the same.
Ocala, Florida's Ebullition has been playing straightforward, no-nonsense death metal since 2015, carrying the torch for the Sunshine State's outsized contribution to the genre.
Named for the medical term for bruising, Powhatan, Virginia's Ecchymosis melds groove metal's midtempo churn with death metal's heavier inclinations, active since 2015 and apparently comfortable leaving marks.
Kansas City's Ecdysis takes its name from the molting process, and the band's melodic death metal reflects that sense of transformation — technically grounded, melodically ambitious, and active since 2017.
Fort Wayne, Indiana's Ecferus has been one of the Midwest's more prolific black metal solo acts since 2015, churning out a torrent of raw, philosophically dense material that rewards patience from listeners willing to go deep.
Denver's Echo has been doing black metal at altitude since 2010, a long-running Colorado act whose sound carries the cold of mountain winters and the vastness of high-desert night.
A Utah depressive black metal project formed in 2012, Echo of Life leans hard into the genre's most inward-facing qualities — slow, anguished, and constructed for solitary listening.
Chicago's Echo Primordium emerged in 2022 at the intersection of black and death metal, channeling the city's extreme underground lineage into something that feels both ancient and immediately punishing.
