Chicago hardcore punk veterans active since 1999, later splitting operations between the Windy City and Atlanta. Across six releases spanning over fifteen years, they've built a catalog of ferocious, confrontational punk that draws equally from noise rock and metal, with album titles like Prolapse and Sedentary reflecting their caustic worldview.
Dallas hardcore punk act delivering short, sharp bursts of fury since 2021. Their debut EP A Kingdom Where Hyenas May Jest and Prance pairs literary aspirations with raw punk energy — a combination that feels right at home in the Texas underground.
Denton crossover thrash project from the Texas underground.
Bradenton, Florida black metal and hardcore punk hybrid delivering caustic extremity since 2021. Three EPs including the politically charged Prescribed Burning blend crust punk urgency with black metal atmosphere from the Gulf Coast.
Albany death metal project from the New York underground.
Dayton crossover crew fusing hardcore punk urgency with thrash metal velocity, carrying on Ohio's proud tradition of no-frills aggressive music.
New Orleans hardcore punk and thrash supergroup formed in 2008, featuring members of Eyehategod, Superjoint Ritual, and other NOLA heavy hitters. Their self-titled debut distills the Crescent City's legendary underground into short, violent blasts of crossover fury.
Denver groove metal and hardcore project whose 2025 debut A DYING LIGHT channels punk urgency through heavy, rhythmic aggression. The all-caps title matches the intensity of their Colorado-bred metallic hardcore.
Kilgore, Texas death metal and hardcore punk project whose 2021 remix single bridges extreme music with electronic production. East Texas grit filtered through digital manipulation.
