Supergoria is a blackened heavy metal band from Providence, Rhode Island, formed in 2019, fusing the raw menace of black metal with the riff-heavy swagger of traditional heavy metal in a style that echoes acts like Midnight and Nifelheim.

Doylestown, Pennsylvania's Superheaven (formerly known as Daylight) craft a crushing, fuzz-drenched brand of shoegaze-inflected grunge that channels the heavy melancholy of Hum, Swervedriver, and early Smashing Pumpkins. Their 2015 album 'Ours Is Chrome' is a masterclass in balancing overwhelming distortion with gorgeous melody, creating a wall of sound that feels simultaneously crushing and transcendent. Superheaven's brand of heavy, emotionally resonant shoegaze has earned them a devoted following among fans who crave guitars that are both beautiful and punishingly loud.
Superjoint — formerly Superjoint Ritual — are a New Orleans, Louisiana sludge metal and crossover thrash band that reformed in 2016, co-founded by Pantera and Down vocalist Philip Anselmo, combining the grinding aggression of crossover thrash with the thick, swampy heaviness of the New Orleans sludge tradition.
