Austin, TX · 2018–present · active
Austin's Trenchant deal in blackened death metal of the uncompromising variety — dense, caustic, and unrelenting since their 2018 formation. Their approach fuses the atmospherics of raw black metal with the brute physicality of death metal, making them a notable presence on the Texas extreme underground scene.
Oakland, CA · 2004–present · active
Oakland speed metal act Trencher have been forging their craft since 2004, drawing from the Bay Area's long tradition of fast, riff-forward metal with a lean and no-frills delivery. Their longevity in an unforgiving scene speaks to a dedication to the pure mechanics of the style.
Indianapolis, IN · 2021–present · active
Indianapolis quartet Trenches emerged in 2021 fusing the punishing low-end of sludge metal with the structured aggression of metalcore, a combination that feels at home in the Midwest underground. Their Bandcamp handle "digtrenches" signals an ethos of burrowing deep into the heavy.
Detroit, MI · 2011–present · active
Detroit's Trenchfoot have been working the fault line between groove metal and metalcore since 2011, channeling the city's blue-collar intensity into churning riffs and serrated rhythms. The name alone evokes the grinding discomfort their sound aims to deliver.
Cuyahoga Falls, OH · 2022–present · active
Formed in 2022 out of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, Trenchgoat bring a hard rock backbone to their blend of heavy and thrash metal, landing somewhere between throwback aggression and arena-adjacent hooks. They're a young band with a sound that leans on the visceral pleasure of the riff.
Brooklyn, New York City, NY · 2011–present · active
Brooklyn's Trenchgrinder have been a fixture in the New York underground since 2011, channeling death metal brutality, thrash velocity, and crust punk filth into a sound built for the pit. Their approach is confrontational and unpolished in the best tradition of the borough's extreme metal lineage.
Columbus, GA · 2020–present · active
Columbus, Georgia's Trendkill formed in 2020 with a sound anchored in the crossover space between death and thrash metal, drawing equally from the surgical precision of technical death and the kinetic aggression of thrash. Their name nods to an era of metal that prized authenticity over trend-chasing.
