Elizabethtown, Kentucky death/thrash act Sinistrum formed in 2022, fusing the clinical brutality of death metal with thrash's driving momentum in a small-town Kentucky underground that punches well above its size. Their style reflects a reverence for the classic hybrid sounds of bands like Sepultura and early Death filtered through a contemporary American perspective.
Sink evolved from drone/black metal into dark ambient and darkwave territory, tracing a journey from metallic extremity toward atmospheric electronic darkness. Active since 2018, their shifting identity reflects an artist unwilling to remain static.
Los Angeles-based Sink Shower have been carving their niche in the city's extreme metal underground since 2018, combining black metal's abrasive atmosphere and tremolo intensity with the brute physicality of death metal in a way that feels cold and urban rather than pastoral. Their music reflects the disorienting density and alienation of Southern California's sprawling megalopolis.
