Greenville, South Carolina's Mindphaser deliver a grinding blend of thrash and groove metal built on percussive mid-tempo riffs and a punishing low-register attack that has been a fixture of the Upstate metal scene since 2015.
Hailing from Woodstock, Illinois, Mindscar fuse the melodic ambition of power metal with the aggressive momentum of thrash, a combination that keeps their sound both anthemic and sharp-edged since their formation in 2015.
Dynamic Progressive Metal from Dallas.
San Francisco's MindZone launched in 2020 drawing on three distinct Bay Area traditions — the groove-heavy stomp of groove metal, the soaring hooks of power metal, and the relentless drive of thrash — weaving them into a dense, dynamic attack.
Madison, Wisconsin's Mine have been exploring the outer edges of progressive metal since 2005, building layered, compositionally ambitious music that favors shifting time signatures and expansive arrangements over conventional song structures.
Kalamazoo, Michigan's Mine Enemies Fall specialize in a blunt, bottom-heavy brand of groove metal that leans on locked-in rhythmic patterns and a no-frills aggression shaped by the blue-collar work ethic of the Great Lakes underground.
Huntington Park, California's Minister deal in a corrosive death/thrash hybrid, channeling the ferocity of early LA death metal scenes alongside the propulsive aggression of thrash since forming in the city's dense underground in 2014.
Legendary industrial metal. Originally from Chicago, later relocated to El Paso.
Chicago sludge metal act Minos have been churning out dense, tar-thick riffs and crushed tempos since 2011, operating firmly within the city's storied heavy underground with a sound that values weight and atmosphere in equal measure.
