Ripping Progressive Death Metal / Metalcore from Denton.
I Am Morbid is the vehicle through which former Morbid Angel frontman David Vincent keeps the classic era of that legendary death metal band alive on stage. Performing material from Morbid Angel's first four albums — 'Altars of Madness' through 'Domination' — Vincent and his band deliver these foundational death metal anthems with the authority of someone who wrote them.
A sole practitioner of atmospheric black metal who emerged in 2024, weaving dense, suffocating textures around themes of self-erasure and void. Harrowing ambient passages dissolve into raw, tremolo-driven cascades.
I Am Solitude is a gothic metal band from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, formed in 2020, channeling dark romanticism and melancholic beauty from the volcanic shores of the Canary Islands. The band merges gothic metal's atmospheric elegance with the isolated grandeur of their Atlantic island setting.
I Am the Beholder is a melodic doom/death/post-black metal act from Vladivostok, Russia, active since 2019 and crafting immersive, expansive compositions that push beyond conventional black metal boundaries. The project blends atmospheric textures with the intensity of extreme metal.
Rochester's stoner metal crew pilots a vessel loaded with fuzz-soaked riffs and woozy desert grooves, pulling hard on the tiller since 2015. Their sound sits somewhere between a bar-room strut and a narcotics-induced drift.
Nashville's answer to the crossroads of southern grit and metalcore aggression, channeling courthouse swagger and chainsaw riffs into a sound that feels like a front-porch confrontation gone sideways.
Black metal band from Kotka in southeastern Finland, formed in 2021. Their sound channels raw black metal from the Gulf of Finland port city.
I Am the Void is a German black metal project formed in 2020, channeling nihilistic themes through raw, atmospheric black metal. The band explores the emptiness suggested by its name, crafting compositions steeped in existential dread and sonic desolation.
