Heavy and thrash metal band from Bruges, Belgium, active since 2016. They deliver hard-hitting traditional heavy metal fused with thrash aggression from the medieval streets of one of Flanders' most storied cities.
Long Island death/progressive metal outfit Citoletium layer complex arrangements over a foundation of genuine heaviness, refusing to let technical ambition outpace the crunch. Their compositions feel both worked-out and visceral.
Columbus experimental black/thrash act Citranomicon approach genre boundaries as suggestions, welding cold tremolo-picked fury to unconventional structures and a genuinely strange sonic imagination. They resist easy categorization.
please update this band
Los Angeles speed/heavy metal outfit City Kings channel the spirit of NWOBHM and early American power metal into high-octane anthems built on galloping riffs and sky-high energy. They play classic metal with conviction and swagger.
City of Caterpillar formed in Richmond, Virginia in 2000, becoming one of the central acts in the early American screamo movement alongside Pg. 99 and Majority Rule, building lengthy compositions that shifted between near-ambient quiet and shattering emotional climaxes. The band released a self-titled full-length and split releases before disbanding in 2003, with the recordings gaining wider recognition in subsequent years as touchstones of the form. The band reunited in 2016 and released their second album Mystic Sisters in 2022.
Boston progressive metal outfit City of Dis take their name from Dante's infernal city and deliver suitably large-scale music, building intricate, emotionally intense compositions that move between atmosphere and aggression. Their sound is expansive and literary.
Durham doom/groove metal duo City of Medicine lay down slow, crushing riffs drawn from North Carolina's fertile heavy underground. Their music moves with the measured weight of something that cannot be stopped.
Los Angeles death doom act Civerous conjure suffocating, subterranean darkness at the intersection of black, death, and doom metal, building cavernous soundscapes of genuine dread. Their Maze of Sorrow EP and Decrepit Flesh Relic debut mark them as one of the more compelling voices in contemporary underground death.
