Filthy Melodic Black Metal from San Antonio.
Stellar Ascent is a US atmospheric black/doom metal project formed in 2018. The band combines the slow, crushing weight of doom with the cold, expansive atmospheres of black metal to create immersive, cosmically-themed soundscapes.
Stellar Circuits formed in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 2015, combining progressive metal complexity with the rhythmic precision of djent and the melodic accessibility of alternative metal. The band's debut EP (2015) was followed by the full-length Ways We Haunt (2018) and Sight to Sound on Nuclear Blast Records, the latter expanding the band's reach significantly within the progressive metal community. Their album Phantom : : Phoenix continued the pattern of groove-forward progressive metal with clean vocals and layered dynamics. Stellar Circuits represent one of the more technically accomplished acts to emerge from the American Southeast's progressive metal underground.
Stellar Descent is a California-based atmospheric folk/black metal project formed in 2013. The band blends acoustic folk textures with the raw aggression of black metal, crafting music with an earthy, nature-oriented character.
