Northern New Jersey death metal project.
Houston death metal project from the Texas underground.
Detroit heavy metal and thrash act whose 2012 debut Iron Funeral channels Motor City industrial decay into riff-driven fury. The title captures their aesthetic perfectly — metal music about metal's demise, forged in a city that knows something about rust.
