Portland, Washington's Devouring Serpent emerged in 2020 with a black/death metal sound that suits the Pacific Northwest's grey skies and dense forests. Their approach favors atmosphere and aggression in equal measure, channeling something genuinely feral out of the region's rich extreme metal tradition.
Virginia Beach's Devouring Swarm began in 2014 exploring the outer edges of technical death metal before evolving into a more direct and crushing death metal approach — a trajectory that reflects a maturation toward impact over intricacy. They stand as one of the more seasoned acts in the Virginia coastal metal underground.
