Out of Longview, Texas, Monthra have been fusing groove and thrash metal since 2017 with the kind of knuckle-dragging momentum and snapping riff patterns that fit the East Texas industrial corridor they come from.
San Jose's Montra formed in 2011 and blend groove metal and thrash with a hardcore backbone, bringing the Bay Area's deep punk and metal cross-pollination tradition to bear on aggressive, pit-ready material.
Named for the vengeful narrator of Poe's 'The Cask of Amontillado,' Irvine's Montresor have been delivering heavy and power metal since 2011 — ambitious, melodic, and steeped in classic metal storytelling from Southern California.
A Buffalo, New York heavy metal band formed in 2021, Monument began in the city's storied tradition of hard, guitar-driven music and have since evolved toward a harder rock sensibility while retaining their metal roots.
Beaver Dam, Wisconsin's Monument formed in 2021 and play crossover thrash with small-town urgency — fast, stripped-down, and indebted equally to hardcore punk's aggression and thrash metal's technical edge.
Oklahoma City's Monument started out in power metal territory before shifting into a more aggressive death/thrash hybrid, reflecting the kind of restless evolution that has defined the band across their existence since 2021.
A New England drone/funeral doom project active since 2005, Monument of Urns specialize in extreme slowness and oppressive atmosphere — long-form compositions where texture and tonal weight matter more than conventional song structure.
Denver's Monumental Discharge formed in 2020 and specialize in slam and brutal death metal, delivering the genre's characteristically downtuned, bowel-shaking low end and guttural vocals against a backdrop of Mile High city extremity.
San Francisco's Monuments Collapse have been working the sludge/doom/post-metal axis since 2013, building lengthy, corrosive tracks that mirror the Bay Area's tension between beauty and decay — slow, caustic, and hauntingly cinematic.
