San Jose, CA · 2010–present · active
San Jose death metal outfit Mortuous have been churning out dense, suffocating old-school death metal since 2010, with a filthy mid-paced assault rooted in the American underground and a pronounced taste for doom-laden tempos.
Portage, IN · 2005–present · active
Portage, Indiana's Mortuus have been at the brutal death/deathcore crossroads since 2005, building a reputation for monstrous low-tuned riffs and guttural excess in a scene more typically associated with Midwestern hardcore.
Nashville, TN · 2017–present · active
Nashville's Moru began as a hardcore-rooted unit before evolving into something considerably heavier — their later work fuses progressive death metal architecture with deathcore aggression, reflecting a band willing to follow their instincts wherever the music leads.
Phoenix, AZ · 2019–present · active
Phoenix doom/sludge outfit Mosara channel the oppressive desert heat into slow, grinding heaviness — formed in 2019, they pair massive distorted riffs with a suffocating patience well-suited to the Arizona landscape.
Albuquerque, NM · 2022–present · active
Named after the synthetic element with atomic number 115, Albuquerque death metal act Moscovium formed in 2022 and bring a methodical, heavy approach to the genre — an emerging force in New Mexico's underground.
Philadelphia, PA · 2006–present · active
Philadelphia's Mose Giganticus have been in continuous mutation since 2006, beginning in synth-punk and industrial metal before shifting toward a heavier progressive sludge sound — a band that has always valued sonic restlessness over genre consistency.
IN · 2015–present · active
Indiana progressive metal project Mosquito in Frost has been building intricate, technically demanding compositions since 2015, favoring complex arrangements over sheer aggression in a largely self-contained underground operation.
Atlanta, GA · 2022–present · active
Atlanta's Moss and Clay blend atmospheric black metal with genuine folk sensibility — formed in 2022, they weave earthy, melodic elements into their blackened framework, giving their music a distinctly organic and rootsy Georgia character.
