Los Angeles · 2017–present · active
A Los Angeles heavy metal outfit formed in 2017, Prowler draw on the melodic, leather-and-chrome aesthetic of traditional metal — clean vocals, galloping rhythms, and guitar work that nods to the NWOBHM and American power metal bands that ruled the Sunset Strip era. Their music rewards fans who prize craft and songcraft over extreme noise.
Tampere, Pirkanmaa · 2018–present · active
Active since 2018 and operating out of Tampere, Finland, Praeternatura pursue a austere and ritualistic strain of black metal grounded in the Nordic tradition of atmosphere and sonic punishment. Their music resists accessibility in favor of immersive darkness, treating the genre as a vessel for something that feels genuinely beyond the natural order.
Wheeling, WV · 2017–present · active
A melodic death metal outfit from Wheeling, West Virginia, Psalms of Silence blends the hook-driven melodicism of the Gothenburg tradition with a heavier, American brutality. Active since 2017, they channel somber atmosphere into punishing riff structures.
Jacksonville, FL · 2013–present · active
Jacksonville, Florida's Pseudocidal have been grinding out heavy, mid-tempo groove metal since 2013, leaning into the thick, down-tuned riffing and rhythmic swagger that defines the American groove scene.
SC · 2021–present · active
A South Carolina death-grind outfit formed in 2021, Psionic Madness attacks from both ends of the extreme spectrum — brutal death metal density colliding with grindcore's frantic pace and compacted song structures.
Holden, ME · 2019–present · active
Out of Holden, Maine, Psonen forges blackened thrash metal with the cold, rural isolation of New England seeping into their sound — raw black metal menace fused with the driving aggression of classic thrash, active since 2019.
Chicago, IL · 2012–present · active
Chicago's Psoriasis have been pushing a no-frills death metal agenda since 2012, rooted in the gritty Midwestern underground ethos with suffocating riffs and a relentless, forward-driving attack.
Silver Spring, MD · 2024–present · active
A very recent entry from Silver Spring, Maryland, Psychiatric Collapse formed in 2024 and plays a brutal hybrid of death metal and grindcore — short, furious, and clinically violent in its execution.
