Cleveland's Mystic Underworld formed in 2020 and blend black metal with ambient elements, pairing harsh, atmospheric black metal passages with spacious, drone-informed interludes that give their sound a meditative, underworld-descending quality.
Baltimore's Mystic-Force have been developing their progressive heavy and power metal sound since 2010, building elaborate song structures around virtuosic playing and wide-ranging dynamics that set them apart from the more straightforward side of the power metal scene.
Operating out of Battle Ground, Washington since 2006, Mysticism Black have spent nearly two decades cultivating a dense, Pacific Northwest strain of black metal — cold, fog-heavy, and rooted in the isolated forests and overcast skies of the region.
A newcomer from Denver, Colorado formed in 2024, Mystigaard draw on the classic heavy metal tradition, bringing a fresh voice to the genre with the kind of riff-forward, melodic approach that echoes the genre's foundational bands while remaining planted in the present.
Cleveland, Ohio's Mystik formed in 2018 and blend power and thrash metal into a high-energy combination — the melodic ambition and vocal hooks of power metal fused with the speed and aggression of thrash, giving their music a driving, hook-laden intensity.
A New York black metal project active since 2020, Mystiker work within the raw, underground black metal tradition — bleak, stripped of pretension, and committed to the grimly ascetic aesthetic that defines the more orthodox end of the American scene.
Hard-hitting Heavy Metal out of Texas.
A New England epic folk metal band active since 2013, Mythbegotten layer acoustic instrumentation, folk melodies, and regional mythological storytelling over heavy metal foundations — a sound that suits their northeastern wilderness setting as much as it does their name.
