Palm Bay, Florida's Murdok have been grinding it out since 1994, making them one of the more tenacious heavy metal acts in the state — three decades of survival in a scene that chews through bands constantly. Straight-ahead heavy metal with the longevity to back it up.
please update this band
Muscaria is a heavy and thrash metal band from Oviedo, Spain, formed in 2013. They combine heavy metal's foundations with thrash metal's aggressive intensity from the Asturias region.
St. Augustine, Florida's Mushroom Star occupies a peculiar junction of black metal ferocity, classic heavy metal swagger, and punk recklessness, making them one of the more difficult-to-categorize acts in the Florida underground. Active since 2011, they bring a wild, anything-goes energy to a state better known for death metal orthodoxy.
A heavy metal act from County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland, Mushy Peas formed in 2025 with a characteristically irreverent name. The band channels the rural energy of the Irish border region into classic heavy metal.
Musta Risti is a heavy and doom metal band from Lahti, Finland, formed in 2013. Their Finnish name meaning "Black Cross" reflects their dark, weighty blend of heavy and doom metal.
Mustang is a heavy metal and hard rock band from Athens, Greece, active since 2009. They channel classic heavy metal energy from the Greek capital.
San Marcos, Texas's Mutant Disease blend heavy and thrash metal into a hard-hitting hybrid that carries the swagger of the former and the velocity of the latter, landing in the rowdy tradition of Texas speed metal. Formed in 2016, they operate in the fertile Central Texas corridor between Austin and San Antonio.
Pearsall, Texas's Mute TX formed in 2022 playing groove and heavy metal from a small ranching town in South Texas, channeling working-class grit into a sound built on down-tuned riffs and hard-driving rhythms. Their presence demonstrates that Texas metal has roots in places far beyond the major metro areas.
