Formed in Providence, Rhode Island in 2024, Mourn the Stars bring an atmospheric sweep to black metal, weaving post-black textures and expansive, emotive passages into their nascent catalog.
Cincinnati's Mournblade fuse the soaring hooks of power metal with the propulsive aggression of thrash, arriving on the scene in 2023 with an energetic attack that nods to classic US metal traditions.
A Glendale, California thrash outfit active since 2023, this Mournblade brings a West Coast bite to aggressive, riff-forward thrash metal rooted in the Bay Area and Southern California traditions.
A Florida-based heavy metal act, this iteration of Mournblade pursues a melodic, traditional approach to the genre, drawing on the dramatic songwriting sensibilities of classic melodic heavy metal.
Longmont, Colorado's Mourned by Flies have been delivering unrelenting death metal since 2008, earning their place in the Front Range underground through a commitment to grimy, no-compromise brutality.
Nashville's Mourner occupy the heaviest intersection of sludge, drone, and doom, dragging listeners through suffocating low-end frequencies and near-static tempos that feel built from the weight of the Tennessee hills.
A Philadelphia black metal act formed in 2022, Mourner of Light channel the cold, dissonant spirit of raw black metal with a distinct urban edge shaped by the dense, underground scene of the city.
Santa Rosa, California's Mournful Cries marry the crushing tempos of doom with the melodic vocabulary of traditional heavy metal, crafting songs that carry a brooding emotional weight alongside genuine riff craftsmanship.
Salt Lake City's Mournful Incarnation specialize in funeral doom of the bleakest kind — cavernous, nearly motionless compositions that stretch grief into something vast and suffocating, born from the silence of the Utah desert.
