Inman, South Carolina black metal project with five releases since 2024. Cosmic Cries Of The Lonely Star and Depression capture both celestial grandeur and earthbound despair from the Carolina Upstate, their prolific output building an interstellar mythology at remarkable speed.
Astral Space Inc delivers melodic death metal and metalcore from Moscow since 2024. Their corporate-cosmic name brings a sardonic edge to melodic extremity from the Russian capital.
Toledo, Ohio melodic death metal act with two full-lengths since 2020. ACROSS THE AEONS and Eternity's End deliver ambitious, cosmically scaled melodeath that punches well above the typical underground weight class from the Glass City.
Plainview, Texas melodic death metal project — one of the few metal acts from the West Texas plains. Three releases since 2017 including Sanguinarium and Of Vacant Planes draw metaphorical power from the vast, empty landscape stretching to the horizon.
Astrodust formed in Tatabánya in 2022, pairing melodic death metal's dual-guitar harmonies with gothic metal's dark romanticism. They share their hometown with Agregator, suggesting an active melodic death metal lineage in this Komárom-Esztergom County industrial center.
Hampton Roads, Virginia melodic death metal project with seven releases since 2019. A prolific output from the Tidewater region, their catalog spans singles, EPs, and compilation packs that demonstrate relentless creative energy.
New Jersey melodic death metal project blending Scandinavian melody with extreme metal aggression, contributing to the Garden State's diverse heavy music landscape.
Cincinnati, Ohio metalcore act whose 2010 split with Daggers creates a recursively violent pairing. Queen City aggression in its most direct form.
At the Gates has been one of the most influential bands in the history of melodic death metal, pioneering the Gothenburg sound from their formation. Their 1995 album 'Slaughter of the Soul' remains a genre-defining masterpiece, and their continued activity demonstrates their enduring creative vitality.
