10 to the Chest is a deathcore act from Colorado Springs, Colorado, trading in violence-soaked extremity since 2022. The band has released material primarily through splits, including collaborations with Sanguisugabogg and Stabbing, establishing themselves within the underground slam and deathcore community. Their track titles and features point to a band deeply embedded in the modern brutal death and deathcore circuit.
Formed in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1999, 10 Years craft a brooding blend of alternative metal and post-grunge anchored by Jesse Hasek's haunting vocal range. Their 2006 breakthrough album 'The Autumn Effect' spawned the hit 'Wasteland,' establishing them as one of the more cerebral acts in the hard rock landscape. Across eight studio albums, they've consistently delivered emotionally charged songwriting that balances heavy riffs with atmospheric restraint.
10,000 Rambos is a grindcore and hardcore punk band from Cleveland, Ohio, active since 2015 and consistently prolific. Across four full-lengths and an EP — from their self-titled debut through 2025's "World War IV" — the band delivers short, caustic bursts of politically charged grindcore with a hardcore punk backbone. Their discography is a relentless document of fury, tackling societal rot with the speed and brevity the genre demands.
10-50 Nightmare is a death metal and groove metal band from Rotterdam, New York, debuting in 2024 with a self-titled four-track EP. Named after the police code for a traffic accident, the band plays a blend of chunky groove riffs and death metal aggression with an in-your-face attitude. Tracks like "Watch Your Tude Bro" and "You Make Me Feel Hatred" establish the band's confrontational tone.
Connecticut metallic hardcore veterans 100 Demons fuse bone-crushing mosh-pit riffs with East Coast hardcore fury, standing as one of the genre's most respected underground acts. Their self-titled 2004 album on Deathwish Inc. remains a touchstone for the crossover of metal and hardcore, delivering unrelenting aggression with streetwise authenticity.
Groove metal band from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, who blend heavy riffing with hard rock energy and deliver their lyrics entirely in Portuguese. Active since 2018, they have released the EPs A Caixa de Pandora and aMALdiçoado Seja alongside multiple live recordings including a set broadcast on Flambo 92 FM. Their covers of Sepultura and Superjoint Ritual in their catalog signal a clear lineage in the Brazilian and Southern US groove tradition.
100 Suns is a death metal project from San Francisco, California, releasing a single three-part EP titled "Perpetual Balance" in 2008. The EP's structure — three interconnected movements — suggests an ambitious, progressive approach to death metal composition. The project takes its name from the blinding flash of nuclear detonation, fitting for music built on overwhelming sonic force.
1000 Bone Cylinder Explosion is an avant-garde speed metal project from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, releasing their debut full-length "Bind" in 2021. The album's eleven tracks — with names like "Dream of Floating" and "Aporia" — suggest a cerebral approach that sets them apart from straightforward speed metal. The project occupies an experimental corner of the Philadelphia heavy music scene.
1000 Foot Bong is a doom metal band from Portland, Oregon, who announced themselves in 2023 with the four-track EP "Pre Roll." With song titles like "Munchies," "Grower," and "Resin Demon," the band wears their stoner-doom influences proudly and without pretense. The EP delivers slow, heavy riffs in the grand tradition of Pacific Northwest doom.
