West Hills crossover thrashers Cholos on Acid bring Southern California attitude to a chaotic blend of groove metal and full-throttle thrash. The name tells you most of what you need to know.
Wheeling, Illinois grind/death act Chomo Eradicator deal in punishing blasts and visceral extremity with no pretense of subtlety. Loud, ugly, and to the point.
Sludge metal band from Hamburg, Germany, active since 2015. They craft massive, slow-burning heaviness with thick, distorted riffs from the Hanseatic port city.
Detroit gothic metal outfit Choose Death traffic in dark, melodic heaviness shaped by the Motor City's long history of hard rock and alternative metal. Moody and atmosphere-driven.
Roanoke's Choose to Suffer collide black metal venom with hardcore aggression and thrash momentum, producing a chaotic and combative hybrid. Virginia underground at its most unruly.
New Bern, North Carolina's Choose Your Weapon channel metalcore's melodic hooks through a thrash metal filter for a sound that hits hard without abandoning songcraft. Straightforward and driven.
Indiana brutal death and slam act Chop Shop lean into the most grotesque corners of the genre, combining pummeling slam breakdowns with hardcore-inflected brutality. Unsubtle and intentionally so.
Death metal band from Bamberg, Germany, formed in 2021. They deliver crushing old-school death metal from the medieval Franconian city.
Philadelphia's Chopped Up blend death metal violence with grind efficiency and hardcore swagger, keeping things fast and ugly in the tradition of Philly's combative underground. Short and brutal.
