Stoner metal band from Zagreb, Croatia, rumbling since 2007. Cojones delivers heavy, fuzz-laden grooves with a laid-back swagger that belies the band's nearly two decades of output.

Chicago's Cokegoat stretch sludge metal across progressive song architectures, blending crushing heaviness with dynamic shifts and a willingness to let songs breathe and evolve over extended running times.

Georgia grindcore act Colacon specialize in short, chaotic detonations of noise and speed, delivering relentless blasting punishment with zero intent of letting up.
Colapso was a grindcore and crossover band from Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, active from 2004 until splitting up around 2007. The band recorded their first demo "É o Fim" ("It's the End") in 2005 with eleven tracks, and later released a split with fellow Recife act Corroídos pelo Ódio in late 2006 that gained wider circulation across Brazil. The group disbanded after members departed to pursue other musical projects.

Death metal band from Kruishoutem, Belgium, active since 2010. Early recordings like 'Beyond the Threshold' were written when the members were young, and their sound has continued to develop through live performances and studio work from the East Flanders region.

Cold are a Jacksonville, Florida outfit fronted by the singular Scooter Ward, who crafted an atmospheric, melancholy strain of post-grunge and alternative metal that set them apart from the harder-edged nu metal pack during their late-1990s rise. Their 2000 breakthrough 13 Ways to Bleed on Stage and its follow-up Year of the Spider (2003) both went Gold, with the latter reaching number three on the Billboard 200 and producing the moody radio hit "Stupid Girl," establishing Cold as one of the more emotionally resonant acts of the era.

Blackened death metal act from the Algarve towns of Albufeira and Silves, formed in 2021. Cold and Deceased delivers extreme metal from the unlikely setting of Portugal's sunny southern coast.
Doom metal act from Lisbon, formed in 2018. Cold and Grey crafts slow, sorrowful doom reflecting the moodier side of the Atlantic capital.

Houston's Cold and Lust traffic in raw black metal with a Texas underground sensibility, blending nihilistic atmosphere with primitive, flesh-stripping aggression that owes nothing to polish.
