Holy Wars is the Los Angeles-based project of Kat Leon, born from the devastating loss of both her parents in 2015 and channeling that grief into a visceral blend of grunge, industrial, and modern rock. The project fuses gritty, guitar-driven heaviness with emotionally raw songwriting that explores the sacred and the combative simultaneously. Leon's unflinching approach to turning personal darkness into cathartic music has resonated deeply with audiences seeking authenticity in rock.
Holywatr is a Los Angeles-based alternative rock trio that blends grunge grit, metal heaviness, and shoegaze textures into a dark, atmospheric sound. What began as a solo act evolved into a three-piece outfit, with members Holy, Ice, and Turbo creating dense sonic landscapes on their album 'Red Heifer.' Their music exists at the intersection of 90s rock nostalgia and modern production, appealing to fans of heavy alternative music who appreciate both melody and menace.
Venomous Avant-garde Black Metal, Grindcore from Dallas.
Savage Black Metal from Austin, Texas / New Orleans, Louisiana.
Reno, Nevada's Honor Bound have been flying the flag of traditional power metal since 2013, built on bold harmonies, galloping rhythms, and an unapologetic love of the epic. High desert skies demand big riffs.
Murfreesboro, Tennessee's Hooch Head blend stoner metal's hazy warmth with sludge metal's corrosive weight, arriving in 2018 with the sound of cheap liquor and busted amplifiers. Tennessee grime runs deep in every track.
From Peterborough, New Hampshire, Hookermouth have been crafting grimy stoner-sludge metal since 2014, leaning into fuzz-saturated grooves and a stubbornly filthy aesthetic. Not much subtlety, and none is required.
Arlington, Texas's Hope Deferred occupy the grinding intersection of deathcore and death metal, channeling spiritual despair into brutally heavy music since 2016. The name comes from scripture; the sound comes from somewhere far darker.
