Politically charged metalcore from Austin.
Cincinnati, Ohio metalcore act whose 2010 split with Daggers creates a recursively violent pairing. Queen City aggression in its most direct form.
Yuba City/Sacramento metalcore and thrash project with an impressive eleven releases since 2019. Albums like Eclipse and Fusion demonstrate a prolific output spanning multiple stylistic approaches from the Sacramento Valley.
At F1rst channels melodic heavy, groove metal, and metalcore from Saint Petersburg since 2016. Their numerically augmented name — 'at first' with a formula-one flair — drives a decade of genre-blending from the northern capital.
Great Falls, Montana metalcore outfit with two albums spanning 2012 to 2019. In Home Hell and Self Identified Deity deliver aggressive heaviness from one of the most isolated cities in the American West.
New Albany, Indiana metalcore project with four releases since 2019. Live From Isolation captures the pandemic era through heavy music, while Holding On To A Ghost explores spectral themes from the Louisville metro's Indiana side.
Kansas City metalcore act channeling left-hand-path themes through aggressive breakdowns and heavy riffs, contributing to Missouri's underrated heavy music community.
Norwich metalcore outfit Athena bring melodic sensibility to aggressive, breakdown-heavy compositions, balancing clean vocal passages with harsh screams and technical guitarwork. Active since 2015, they represent the enduring vitality of the UK's metalcore scene.
Athenesi delivers melodic groove and thrash metal with metalcore influences from Bergamo since 2022. Their Greek-inflected name — suggestive of Athena or Athens — brings classical resonance to their modern Lombard sound.
