Springfield, Ohio's This Blessed Hatred fuse the mid-tempo chug of groove metal with the high-tension dynamics of metalcore, producing a sound built for impact on both the stage and the pit.
A Seattle metalcore band carrying the Pacific Northwest's history of heavy music, This Dying Hour have been grinding since 2006 with a style that balances melodic tension against hardcore-derived aggression.
Buffalo, New York's This Eternal Cold occupy the brutal overlap between black metal's corrosive atmosphere and deathcore's bone-crushing breakdowns, a combination as bleak as the city's winters.
A very new arrival from Greenville, South Carolina, This Hidden Colossus formed in 2025 and specialize in sludge metal — grinding through low-tuned riffs and oppressive tempos in the tradition of the American South's heaviest underground.
New York crossover veterans This Is Hell have been tearing through the divide between hardcore and thrash since 2004, delivering fast, punishing sets that owe as much to the NYHC tradition as to Bay Area thrash.
Formed in New York in 2022, This Is the Last Time work in progressive and post-metal territory, building lengthy, texture-driven compositions that prioritize atmosphere and emotional weight over technical showcase.

Hailing from Pampa, Texas — a remote stretch of the Panhandle — This Noose... My Neck... practice funeral doom of the most desolate variety, stretching grief and isolation into glacially slow compositions that feel as vast as the surrounding plains.
Salt Lake City's This Perfect Day have been operating since 2013 at the intersection of raw black metal and post-black metal's introspective expansiveness, drawing on the stark landscape of Utah's high desert for atmosphere.
