Santa Cruz's Theogony have been practicing black metal since 2014, with their name — Hesiod's account of the birth of the gods — signaling an interest in mythological and cosmological themes.

West Lafayette, Indiana's Theophagy have been combining orchestral symphonic grandeur with melodic and brutal death metal since 2010, forging a dense sound that weaves keyboard-driven arrangements into aggressive extreme metal. Active out of Purdue University's college town, they represent a dedicated underground presence in Indiana's metal community.
Detroit's Theophonos, formed in 2023, push black metal into avant-garde and hardcore territory, building an abrasive and structurally unpredictable sound that resists the genre's more conventional templates. Their brevity of existence and Detroit base suggests a project born from the city's confrontational underground art and music culture.
