Fitchburg, Massachusetts's Ditch Mimes have been wallowing in the murk where doom metal, sludge, and noise rock collide since 2011, making them one of the more weathered acts in New England's underground heavy scene. Their sound leans into the abrasive, feedback-scorched end of sludge, the kind of music that feels like asphalt in summer — slow, heavy, and suffocating.
Ditchcreeper is a brutal death metal and grindcore band from Southampton, England, formed in 2015. The band deliver relentless, punishing extremity at the intersection of grinding blast beats and brutal death metal low-end.
San Diego's DitchWitch have been dealing in raw black metal and noise since 2018, embracing the lo-fi, corrosive aesthetic that puts atmosphere and hostility above production clarity. In a city known for its more polished metal output, DitchWitch carve out a genuinely abrasive corner — primitive, unrelenting, and indifferent to comfort.
