Aldheorte is a black metal band from Los Angeles. With a 2023 EP and 2024 full-length "Where Gods Have Eyes To See," the project has quickly established itself in LA's thriving black metal underground.
Kingsport, Tennessee solo black metal project weaving melancholic atmosphere with tremolo-picked passages. The music draws on Appalachian isolation, blending raw production with surprisingly tender melodic sensibility.
Temple, Texas depressive black metal act operating at the margins of the genre's most anguished extremes. A deeply underground project with minimal output but maximum emotional intensity.
Somerset, Kentucky sludge metal project. The name's martial variation channels legionary discipline into crushing heaviness from the Daniel Boone country.
Detroit NWOTHM project named after Aleister Crowley. Occult classic metal from the Motor City.
Fort Collins death metal band that's built a rapid-fire discography since 2023, already stacking three releases. Their sound channels relentless brutality with a Western twist their name suggests — death metal for the high plains.
Boston-based solo progressive metal project centered on intricate guitar work and expansive compositions. The Panopticon EP showcases technical chops filtered through a thoughtful, prog-rock-inflected songwriting approach.
Philadelphia crust-punk-meets-black-metal-meets-thrash outfit active since 2012 with a prolific output of splits, EPs, and full-lengths. Their sound is raw, politically charged, and draws equally from Discharge and Darkthrone.
Los Angeles melodic black/death metal project blending Scandinavian-influenced tremolo work with death metal heft. Absence of Light established their template of atmospheric extremity with a melodic core.
