Mothercow plays a swaggering mix of southern rock grit and groove metal heaviness, channeling the spirit of Pantera and Down into a distinctly interior São Paulo setting.

Motherfaster is a hard rock and metal band from Athens, Greece, formed in late 2011 by three collaborators bent on extracting 'the dirtiest side of their souls.'

Cedar Rapids heavy metal outfit Motherload have been grinding away in the Iowa underground since 2013, delivering no-frills traditional metal with a blue-collar Midwest directness. Their sound stays firmly rooted in the classic mold — riff-first, unpretentious, and built for a live crowd.
Mothermound is a doom/progressive metal band from Tolmin, Slovenia, formed in 2013. They craft intricate progressive compositions with technical ambition.

Cleveland heavy metal act Mothers Worry carry the hard-bitten spirit of the Rust Belt into their music, channeling the blue-collar grit of their Ohio city into straightforward, unadorned metal. Active since 2017, they represent the workhorse side of the regional heavy metal underground.
