Formed in 2023 in the Bay Area underground, Oakland's Threnodist blends black metal's corrosive intensity with shoegaze's hazy, immersive textures, creating a sound that is simultaneously abrasive and dreamlike.
A death metal outfit from Seattle active since 2023, this incarnation of Threnodist pursues the heavier end of the spectrum, channeling the Pacific Northwest's long tradition of unrelenting, downtuned brutality.
Reading, Pennsylvania's Threnody have been grinding out death metal since 2012, drawing on the Mid-Atlantic's blue-collar extreme metal tradition to deliver punishing, no-frills heaviness.
Portland, Oregon's Threnody push death metal into progressive and experimental territory, building compositions that shift and mutate across dynamic extremes while keeping one foot firmly planted in visceral heaviness.
Milwaukee's Threnody deal in atmospheric black metal, weaving bleak, expansive soundscapes from the flat midwestern darkness — a project that has been unfolding since 2012 with a cold, meditative intensity.
Columbus, Ohio's Threnody work within the thrash metal tradition, delivering the kinetic riff-driven assault and aggressive energy that have defined the genre since its mid-eighties heyday.
Hanover, Pennsylvania's Threnody are a death metal unit formed in 2012, adding yet another chapter to the state's deep legacy of underground extreme metal with their punishing, mid-Atlantic approach to the style.
Tallahassee, Florida's Threshing occupy the slow, suffocating overlap between sludge, doom, and post-metal, constructing oppressive walls of distortion that sag under their own weight — a sound shaped as much by Southern heat as by heaviness.
Spokane, Washington's Threshold have been a fixture of the Pacific Northwest progressive metal scene since 1999, known for elaborate, melodically rich compositions that favor technical ambition and dynamic storytelling over brute force.
