Oklahoma City's Great American Desert channel the vast, punishing emptiness of the plains into slow, suffocating doom metal. Since 2012, their music has carried the weight of a landscape with nothing on the horizon and no reason to hurry.
Great American Ghost channel the fury of Boston's hardcore scene through a metallic lens that incorporates death metal heaviness and nihilistic rage. Formed in 2011, vocalist Ethan Moses leads the band through suffocating albums like 'Power Through Terror' and 'Torture World,' which tackle American dysfunction with a scorched-earth intensity. Their sound sits at the intersection of hardcore punk's urgency and death metal's brutality, creating something genuinely unsettling.
Great Attractor is an instrumental progressive metal band from Mérida, Spain, formed in 2013, fusing styles ranging from stoner and sludge to avant-garde and post-rock. Their release Live at the Bujío (2024) captures their hour-long uninterrupted audiovisual performance across twelve compositions.
Sanford, Florida's Great Awakening arrived in 2015 with a brand of thrash that leans hard into speed and precision, uninterested in trends and laser-focused on keeping the genre's classic attack alive. Tightly wound riffs and an aggressive delivery define their approach.
Pagan black metal act from Nizhyn formed in 2022, infusing black metal's raw aggression with themes rooted in pre-Christian Slavic traditions. Their approach connects extreme metal's intensity to ancient cultural heritage.
