An Austin, Texas death metal band formed in 2017, Mocata play straight-ahead, no-frills death metal rooted in the old-school tradition of brutality over gimmickry. They are part of a deep Austin underground that has quietly sustained serious death metal long after the city's reputation shifted toward other sounds.
Mochica is a solo pagan black metal project from Lima, Peru, created by the musician Viracocha as a tribute to the ancient Moche civilization of northern Peru.

Philadelphia's Mode of Egress work at the intersection of black metal and post-black metal, balancing raw, tremolo-driven aggression with moments of dissonant, open-space atmosphere.
