Multi-genre extreme metal band from Piraeus/Athens, Greece, active since 2011. They weave together black metal, death metal, doom, and melodic elements into a despairing, ambitious sound.
Chained Arcana is a Seattle, Washington black metal band weaving occult and esoteric themes through a raw, atmospheric black metal framework. Their Pacific Northwest origins lend their sound a naturally cold, isolated quality.
Chained Existence is a death metal band from Fort Bragg, California, delivering brutal, riff-heavy material rooted in the American death metal underground. Their sound draws on the visceral aggression and punishing downtuned riffing central to the genre.
Melodic death and black metal band from Novi Marof, Croatia, active since 2010. Chained in Agony merges sweeping melodic leads with the ferocity of blackened death metal.
Chained in Sin is a San Antonio, Texas death/thrash metal band combining the ferocity of death metal with the riff intensity and speed of thrash. They are part of the active South Texas extreme metal underground, bringing aggressive, no-frills brutality to their material.
South Florida's Chained Saint are a teenage thrash metal revelation, channeling the analog grit and fury of Megadeth and Slayer while addressing the frustrations of modern American youth. Their William DuVall-produced debut 'Blindside' caught the attention of Rob Halford himself, and the band has already appeared at Welcome to Rockville and Louder Than Life while still barely out of high school.
Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean is a Springfield, Massachusetts doom and sludge metal band constructing devastatingly slow, cavernous compositions built on massive riffs and suffocating heaviness. Their work exemplifies the bleakest and most abyssal end of the American sludge-doom tradition.
Chained to the Dead is a death metal band from Passaic, New Jersey, operating in the putrid, old-school tradition of American and European brutal death metal. Their dense, guttural approach draws on classic underground influences from the genre's formative years.
Chainer is a New York speed and heavy metal act rooted in the traditional metal sounds of the 1980s, combining the raw energy of speed metal with the melodic directness of classic heavy metal. Their streamlined, riff-forward approach channels the no-frills aggression of the NWOBHM and early American metal.
