Jackson, MS southern metal act Cledus Snow bring a swampy, beer-soaked groove to the Deep South metal tradition. Their music is rooted in heavy blues-inflected riffs and a no-pretense attitude toward the genre.
Flint, MI stoner metal outfit Cleen draw on the industrial ruin of their hometown to fuel thick, fuzz-laden riffs and hazy heavy grooves. Their sound sits comfortably in the tradition of midwest stoner metal, bleak and heavy in equal measure.
Doom and sludge metal band from Paris, France, formed in 2018. Named after a Game of Thrones character, they deliver crushing doom-sludge from the French capital.
Clemency is a Christian death metal band from Londrina, Paraná, Brazil. The band released the demo "Satan's Funeral" (1998) and the full-length "Spiritual Domination" (1999), the latter reissued in 2019 via Warriors Records and Eirene Records. Their lyrical themes centered on Christianity, distinguishing them within Brazil's death metal underground.
Raw black metal band from Toulon, France, formed in 2023. They deliver lo-fi, primitive black metal from the Var coast of Provence.
Kenai, Alaska's Clench make death/groove metal in one of the most remote heavy metal scenes in the country, grinding out heavy, mid-tempo riffs far from any major touring circuit. Their isolation seems to fuel a particular ferocity and independence.
Clenched Fist is a heavy metal band from the Jardim São Luís neighborhood in the south zone of São Paulo, Brazil. Drawing influence from classic 1970s and 1980s acts including Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Dio, the band plays heavy/speed metal with lyrical themes touching on society and medieval imagery. They have released the albums "Homenagem aos Bravos" (2008) and "O Presente da Morte" (2012) and are signed to Infernö Records.
Clenching Shadow is a stripped-down, atmospheric black metal project rooted in cold, minimalist composition and a fiercely underground aesthetic. Their music is sparse and bleak, prioritizing mood and darkness over production.
