Junction City, Kansas death metal and deathcore project. The name's double meaning — both a summons from the grave and a serious vocation — adds depth to heartland extremity.
A Grave for Small Birds is a black metal project from Seattle, Washington, debuting in 2024 with two releases totaling 12 tracks. With titles like "Social Anxiety at a Christmas Party" and "New Years Eve. New Years Day," the project channels deeply personal, introspective themes through raw black metal. The band brings an emotionally candid, almost diaristic quality to the Pacific Northwest black metal tradition.
Santa Rosa, California sludge metal project. The name promises an epic narrative of despair from Sonoma County's wine country underbelly.
A Hanging is a hardcore punk and thrash metal band from New Orleans, Louisiana, active since 2015 with five releases. The band plays short, violent bursts of crossover aggression rooted in both punk fury and thrash precision. Named after the George Orwell essay, their music carries a grim, politically charged undercurrent fitting for a band born in post-Katrina New Orleans.
A Haunted Mantra is a melodic death metal project from Charlotte, North Carolina, releasing the single-track "Across the Blackened Sky" in 2011. The project merges the twin-guitar harmonies and sweep-picked melodies of Scandinavian melodic death metal with American heaviness. Though limited in output, the project represents Charlotte's contribution to the melodeath tradition.
A Hill to Die Upon is a death metal band from the Monmouth/Galesburg area of Illinois, active since 2009 with three releases spanning 30 tracks. The band plays epic, ambitious death metal with literary and mythological themes, as evidenced by tracks like "Prometheus Rebound" and "Of Fire And Division." Their substantial catalog reflects a band committed to expanding the intellectual scope of extreme metal.
Florida black metal project. The name captures the genre's essential despair — crying out into a void that offers no comfort.
A Horse Called War brings sludge metal from the Norfolk town of Thetford since 2006, their apocalyptic equestrian name referencing the biblical horseman. Nearly two decades of crushing heaviness speak to deep roots in East Anglia's underground.
San Jose, California death metal project. The unsettling name suggests something inhuman wearing flesh as disguise — body horror from Silicon Valley.
