Seattle NWOTHM and stoner metal outfit named after the Twin Peaks character. Three releases since 2014 including Devil's Bell and Pure Heavy deliver thick, groove-laden metal from the city David Lynch made synonymous with Pacific Northwest darkness.
Wallington, New Jersey NWOTHM project whose releases — including the delightfully bizarre The Ballad Of Buttery Cake Ass audiobook — refuse to play by any genre's rules. Eccentric heavy metal from suburban North Jersey.
Fullerton, California NWOTHM band from Orange County, delivering classic heavy metal revival from the same suburban sprawl that spawned iconic punk and metal acts.
St. George, Utah groove metal, NWOTHM, and nu metal hybrid with two albums since 2015. Their second album, simply titled UTAH, declares their geographic identity with defiant pride — heavy metal forged in the red rock desert near Zion National Park.
New Hampshire NWOTHM project whose 2021 EP Gradually...Then Suddenly — borrowing Hemingway's description of going bankrupt — delivers classic heavy metal with literary sensibility from the Granite State.
Lexington, Kentucky doom and heavy metal project with two EPs since 2016. Fin de Siècle and Interregnum pair historical period terminology with crushing doom, the political vocabulary matching their authoritarian name.
Humble, Texas NWOTHM act from the Houston suburbs, bringing classic heavy metal revival to the Gulf Coast with anthemic riffs and soaring energy.
Cincinnati heavy metal project with five releases since 2014. Their catalog — spanning the French-titled Musiques immobiles and the blunt Indifferent — reveals a band comfortable with both Continental sophistication and American directness.
Rochester/New York City NWOTHM project whose 2019 debut Rise delivers triumphant traditional metal named after the mythical island of Arthurian legend. Classic heavy metal reaching for paradise.
