Berkeley's Fabricant have spent over a decade building a reputation in the Bay Area death metal underground, delivering technically dense, punishing music that owes nothing to accessibility.
Boston's Face First charge straight at crossover thrash from the ground up — formed in 2017, they combine the speed and riff density of thrash with hardcore's confrontational directness, staying true to the streets of Massachusetts.
Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania's Face First keeps it strictly thrash — formed in 2017, this project strips the genre down to its essentials: heavy riffs, driving rhythm, and no pretense.
Out of Mystic, Connecticut, this Face First blends thrash, groove metal, and metalcore into a hybrid sound that's been evolving since 2017, keeping a coastal New England edge to its aggression.
Binghamton's Face of Korruption arrived in 2023 with a focus on the most extreme end of death metal — slam and brutal death metal that prioritizes heaviness above all else.
Milwaukee's Face of Ruin began in 2011 blending progressive death metal with metalcore, gradually tightening their sound into something more direct and deadly without losing the compositional ambition.
Flagstaff, Arizona's Face Pulp waste no time — formed in 2022, they grind through death metal, grindcore, and hardcore punk in the most uncompromising way the high desert allows.
Out of Ashtabula, Ohio, Face Rot have been running blackened grindcore since 2013 — short, vicious songs that swap grind's antisocial energy for a colder, more nihilistic black metal atmosphere.
Phoenix's Face the Flames lean into the slow and the heavy, crafting stoner-doom that trades the desert city's relentless heat into fuzz-soaked riffs and brooding, patient tempos since 2017.
