Houston black/death metal project with a substantial seven-release catalog since 2018. Named for the German word for nightmare, the project delivers relentless extremity rooted in the Texas death metal tradition.
Salem, Oregon black metal project whose debut UNCREASED delivers raw, atmospheric black metal from the Pacific Northwest. The name evokes Alpine ghostlore, fitting for music steeped in cold, mountainous atmosphere.
Nashville black/death metal project operating in the shadows of Music City's metal underground. A minimal-footprint act adding extreme metal darkness to a city better known for country and rock.
Boise deathcore act with five releases documenting their evolution since 2014. Their sound channels the technical brutality and breakdown-heavy approach of modern deathcore through a Mountain West perspective.
Largo/Tampa, Florida metal project. The nuclear physics term channels radioactive disintegration from the Tampa Bay area.
Portland, Oregon NWOTHM project. Dominant devastation through classic heavy metal from the Pacific Northwest.
Alpha Lyræ crafts doom and post-metal from London since 2024, named after the star Vega in the constellation Lyra. Their celestial name suits expansive compositions that reach for cosmic dimensions of heaviness.
Alpha Omega delivers thrash metal from the East Anglian city of Norwich since 2017, their biblical name meaning the beginning and the end. Their apocalyptic name suits the all-encompassing intensity of their thrash assault.
