Salt Lake City's Darkblood has been bridging thrash's aggression and progressive metal's compositional ambition since 2002, making them one of Utah's longer-running heavy metal acts with a sound that rewards patient listeners.
Florida's Darkcharge charges through black metal with a punk-informed rawness that strips away pretension and replaces it with velocity, a project that has been running on pure, unfiltered aggression since 2014.
Darkcide plays death metal from Orebro, active since 2013 and adding to the city's rich death metal legacy established by acts like Dan Swano's various projects. Their homicide-evoking name channels the genre's fundamental obsession with mortality.
