Jersey City's Ghost Orgy have been stoking the embers of doom and gothic metal since their formation — dense, sepulchral riffs draped in dark romanticism, the kind of music that fills cavernous spaces with equal parts dread and beauty.
Towering Stoner / Doom Metal from Houston.
Denver's Ghost Spawn conjure death/doom with a high-altitude coldness, their music moving at the pace of tectonic plates and hitting just as hard. Active since 2019, they are among Colorado's more reliably crushing underground acts.
Atlanta's Ghost Story have been blending heavy metal, power metal, and thrash since 2010, channeling the best of classic American metal into a sound that is equal parts anthem and assault. The South's storytelling tradition runs through every riff.
Out of Bellevue, Nebraska, Ghost Tower have been fusing doom's crushing weight with heavy and thrash metal's forward momentum since 2016 — looming, powerful, and built to last, like the water towers that dot the Great Plains horizon.
Staten Island's Ghost Walking arrived in 2019 with a thrash metal attack shaped by New York City's confrontational energy — sharp, sardonic, and lit up with the borough's particular brand of aggressive pride. Thrash from the forgotten borough.
From Santa Rosa, California's wine country and wildfire smoke, Ghost Witch have been casting heavy doom spells since 2016 — slow, hex-laden riffs that linger like smoke on still air and draw from the occult undercurrent running through California's heavy scene.
Seattle's Ghostblood have been trading in death/thrash metal since 2015, combining the precision and brutality of death metal with thrash's kinetic urgency in a way that fits the Pacific Northwest's tradition of technically focused extremity.
Hailing from Kirksville, Missouri, GhostBox are a doom metal act whose name evokes both paranormal communication devices and the sonic isolation their music inhabits — slow, heavy, and utterly remote, born in a small Midwestern college town and pointed inward.
