San Francisco, California act Chainsaw Zombie weave together black metal, death metal, and doom metal into a dark, mid-paced assault drawing from the Bay Area's extreme metal history. The death-doom elements slow their attack and add a sepulchral heaviness.
Hobart, Indiana doom and sludge metal band Chainsmoker play heavy, feedback-laden music rooted in Southern sludge and traditional doom conventions. Their sound is deliberately slow and crushing, with fuzzed-out guitar tones central to their approach.
New York heavy metal and doom act Chaka blend traditional heavy metal songwriting with the slower, heavier passages of doom metal. Their sound draws on classic American and British heavy metal foundations while incorporating a darker, more ponderous edge.
Minneapolis, Minnesota funeral doom act Chalice of Suffering specialize in crushingly slow, grief-laden doom metal in the tradition of Skepticism and Mournful Congregation. Their songs are long, immersive, and built around an overwhelming sense of weight and despair.
