Named for Maine's highest peak, Suffield, Connecticut's Katahdin have been channeling elemental black metal since 2010 — cold, unadorned, and rooted in the frigid austerity of the genre's second-wave forebears.
Aurora, Colorado's Katalysk bring a death/thrash attack marked by intensity and precision, formed in 2019 with a sound that channels the genre's most ferocious traditions without letting up.
Los Angeles black metal project Katheksis emerged in 2026 with a sound steeped in darkness and psychological tension, adding another voice to Southern California's increasingly active extreme underground.
Ann Arbor, Michigan veterans Kathode have been at it since 1996, blending death metal's brutality with thrash's aggression and occasional blasts of grindcore chaos into a relentlessly punishing whole.
Chico, California's Kattattak blur the line between melodic death metal and metalcore, bringing driving rhythms and melodic hooks together with enough extremity to satisfy fans of both worlds since 2016.
