Washington, DC stoner metal project whose 2012 self-titled EP channels the alchemical ouroboros through heavy grooves. Capital-city fuzz worship with mythological aspirations.
Auroch delivers heavy metal from Belfort since 2012, named after the extinct wild ancestor of domestic cattle. Their prehistoric-bovine name suits the primal, untamed power of their traditional metal sound.
Austin crossover thrash/hardcore act distinguishing themselves with the TX suffix, delivering pit-ready aggression from the Live Music Capital with punk-fueled intensity.
Baltimore black metal and funeral doom project with four releases since 2016. Named after a cheap solvent inhaled by Romanian street children, their music channels that same desperate, impoverished atmosphere through the bleakest extremes of heavy music.
Auron explores progressive heavy metal from Saratov since 2018. Named after a character from Final Fantasy X, they bring videogame mythology to technically ambitious compositions from this Volga River city.
Chicago death metal project with fourteen releases since 2010. One of the Windy City's most prolific extreme acts, their catalog spans samplers, singles, and Lovecraftian-themed tracks like Black Goat of The Woods across a decade and a half.
West Covina black/melodic death metal hybrid blending dark atmospherics with melodic hooks, contributing to the San Gabriel Valley's underground metal output.
Raw black metal project from Minsk, Belarus, whose 2023 debut demo "Demo I" was recorded across spring and summer of that year and released as a free download. The five-track release features darkly evocative track titles—including "Thousands of Gleaming Candles" and "Endless Spiral Staircase to the Womb of Infinite Dungeons"—with the band describing themselves simply as "the rising dawn."
Aurora Ghost crafts symphonic metal from an undisclosed German location since 2011. Their spectral-aurora name suggests the shimmering, ethereal quality of their orchestrally enhanced compositions.
