Los Angeles black metal outfit Cheldrid conjures cold, abrasive soundscapes rooted in the California underground. Their music channels the raw ferocity of the genre with a distinctly West Coast edge.
Olympia, Washington's Chelicerae weaves progressive ambition into black metal's shadowy framework, crafting intricate compositions that push the genre's boundaries. The band draws from both atmospheric black metal tradition and forward-thinking structure.
Brutal death metal act from Penza in central Russia, formed in 2022. Chelicerae Growth Pathogen delivers pathology-themed brutality with a name referencing arachnid appendages.
Los Angeles grindcore act Chelios delivers relentless blasts of politically charged noise with no regard for subtlety. Short, brutal tracks define their approach to the genre's most uncompromising traditions.
Black metal act from Feltre in the Belluno Dolomites, formed in 2018. Chelmno — named after the notorious extermination camp — traffics in dark historical themes through raw black metal.
Salt Lake City's Chelsea Grin are one of deathcore's most enduring and brutal acts, known for Tom Barber's (formerly Alex Koehler's) savage vocal delivery over relentlessly punishing breakdowns and technical riffing. From 'Desolation of Eden' through 'Eternal Nightmare,' the band has remained at the forefront of modern deathcore's most uncompromising wing.
Buffalo's Chelseigh channels the oppressive weight of doom and sludge metal through a haze of distortion and slow-burning riffs. The band taps into the Northeast's tradition of heavy, emotionally crushing music.
Van Nuys thrash outfit Chemi-Kill emerged from the fertile Southern California scene with a punishing approach to the genre. Their sound reflects the aggression and speed that defined the LA thrash movement.
Denver's Chemi-Kill brings high-altitude intensity to thrash metal, driving hard with blunt riffing and a stripped-down attack. The band carries the genre's confrontational spirit with Rocky Mountain grit.
