Metalcore outfit from Madison, Alabama, MyChildren MyBride blends aggressive downtuned riffing with melodic hooks and alternating clean and harsh vocals, drawing from the mid-2000s wave of Southern metalcore.
A brand-new entrant from Seattle's fertile heavy underground, Mycon formed in 2025 and pursues a doom/sludge hybrid rooted in oppressive low-end and glacially paced riffs befitting the gray, rain-soaked Pacific Northwest.
Portland's Myconid fuses the d-beat fury of crust punk with the grotesque heaviness of death metal, arriving in 2023 with a filthy, fast-and-brutal sound shaped by the city's long tradition of DIY extreme music crossover.
Hailing from Southern California, Myconith have been delivering uncompromising brutal death metal since 2015, characterized by punishing down-tuned guitars, blast-beat onslaughts, and guttural vocals that prioritize sheer brutality over melody.
Gainesville, Florida's Mycopath brings a death metal attack shaped by one of the American South's most storied extreme metal scenes, channeling the swampy aggression and technical edge that the Florida death metal tradition demands.
Minneapolis black metal act Mycorrhizae, formed in 2023, draws its conceptual and sonic identity from subterranean natural systems, crafting icy, dense atmospheres that suggest both the sprawling Midwestern cold and something deeply buried beneath it.
The Connecticut incarnation of Mycorrhizae, based in Ashford and formed in 2023, blends doom metal's crushing weight with post-metal's expansive emotional architecture, using long, shifting song structures to evoke the slow patience of underground networks.
Pioneering art-punk from Houston.
Minneapolis's Myiasis, active since 2019, merges the neck-snapping groove of groove metal with the aggression and structural intensity of metalcore, delivering a sound built on churning mid-tempo heaviness and rhythmic punch.
