Savage Melodic Black / Death Metal / Metalcore from Fort Worth.
Portland's Oblivion Griever blend progressive metal's cerebral architecture with a rock-rooted directness, building compositions that shift and breathe without losing their emotional center. Formed in 2020, they bring a reflective, introspective edge to the Pacific Northwest's heavy scene.
Asheville's Oblivion Throne hit the ground running in 2021 with speed metal urgency fused to classic thrash aggression, channeling the mountain city's outsider energy into high-octane riffs. Fast, fierce, and deeply rooted in the old-school spirit that never gets old.
Dallas death metal act Oblivious Obscurity carve through the Texas underground with a sound that's murky, suffocating, and relentlessly heavy. Since 2019 they've been stacking riffs that owe as much to the genre's filthiest roots as to the sprawling brutality of the Lone Star scene.
Indianapolis's Obscene have been shaping Indiana's death metal identity since 2012, wielding riffs that are dense, dissonant, and uncompromisingly heavy. Their approach favors atmosphere forged through weight rather than speed, letting the darkness build and accumulate.
From Saratoga Springs, Obscene Execration bring death metal ugliness to upstate New York with the kind of unvarnished savagery that feels genuinely threatening. Formed in 2015, they channel pure genre nihilism with no detours and no apologies.
L.A.'s Obscene Gesture ride the collision of thrash and crossover with the kind of high-energy hostility that's been a hallmark of Southern California's street-level heavy scene since the '80s. Formed in 2014, they keep the aggression blunt and the tempos punishing.
Denver's Obscene Worship arrived in 2022 with a death metal sound steeped in ritualistic dread — slow-burning and putrid, the kind that feels like an invocation rather than a performance. Mile High city heaviness, stripped to its most rotten bones.
Minneapolis's Obsession tap into heavy metal's classic blueprint — big hooks, driving riffs, and anthemic energy — and deliver it with a Midwestern directness that cuts straight to the bone. Formed in 2019, they're a throwback without ever feeling stuck in the past.
