Dunedin, Florida's Pipe Dreamer stretches doom metal into post-metal's expansive, introspective spaces — slow-building compositions that drift between suffocating heaviness and unexpected light.
A Bay Area institution since 1989, Berkeley's Piranha has survived the genre's cycles long enough to outlast trends entirely, delivering stripped-down thrash with the credibility of three decades in the underground.
Named for the southern constellation that swallows the river Eridanus, Tupelo, Mississippi's Piscis Austrinus pours raw, unadorned black metal into the deep American South — a strange and fitting vessel.
Godfathers of El Paso's metal scene. Groove/thrash metal touring with Cannibal Corpse and Anthrax.
Spokane's Pit Monster has been bludgeoning the Pacific Northwest since 2019 with brutal death metal of the most straightforward and devastating variety — no atmosphere, just obliteration.
Accordion-fueled Tex-Mex punk from San Antonio.
Knoxville's Place of Skulls carries forward a classic doom metal tradition with gospel-tinged gravitas, building slow, heavy monuments to mortality and redemption in equal measure.
Syracuse's Plague Mask has been cultivating a blackened doom sludge pestilence since 2012 — slow, harrowing, and suffused with the kind of upstate New York despair that only January in that city can produce.
Chicago's Plague of Carcosa draws its name from Robert W. Chambers' mythos and its sound from the intersection of stoner, sludge, and doom — heavy, hazy, and haunted by something that refuses to be named.
