Severed Angel is a Levittown, New York act founded in 2022, weaving symphonic grandeur into a heavy metal foundation. Metal Archives classifies them under melodic and symphonic heavy metal, suggesting a focus on sweeping arrangements and melodic hooks rather than brute force.
Severed Boy is a Boston, Massachusetts project formed in 2021 that dissolves the lines between black metal, death metal, and funeral-paced doom. Their Bandcamp presence reflects an underground one-person or small-band aesthetic, channeling bleakness through a dense, multi-genre lens.
Severed by Dawn formed in Columbia, South Carolina in 2021, working at the intersection of death metal and deathcore. They lean into the modern heaviness of deathcore breakdowns while retaining old-school death metal brutality, a combination well-suited to the South Carolina underground.
Severed Hand is a heavy and power metal band from Eatontown, New Jersey, formed in 2023. They traffic in the melodic, riff-driven side of the power metal spectrum, a relatively rare pursuit in the modern New Jersey underground.
Razor-sharp Death / Thrash Metal from San Antonio.
Severed Savior hails from South San Francisco, California, and has been one of the Bay Area's premier technical brutal death metal acts since forming in 2008. They combine the precision of technical death metal with the sheer pulverizing weight of brutal death, earning a reputation for surgical riffing and relentless intensity.
Severed Soul is a black metal act from Dothan, Alabama, formed in 2023 and operating in one of the more unlikely corners of the American South for the genre. Their recent emergence places them in the growing wave of Southern underground black metal, bringing raw atmospheric darkness to a region better known for doom and sludge.
Severer is a Lafayette, Louisiana doom and sludge metal band formed in 2015, drawing naturally on the heavy, humid atmosphere that has made Louisiana a breeding ground for miserable, crushing music. Their sound channels the slow-burn punishment of sludge alongside the weighted despair of traditional doom, firmly rooted in the Gulf Coast underground.
Chicago grindcore act Sewer Rat bring the city's hardcore edge into blastbeat territory with short, furious bursts of politically charged noise. Active since 2019, they operate squarely within the grind underground, favoring speed and spite over polish.
