Riksha
Salt Lake City's Riksha has been carving out a distinct space in the American heavy music landscape since 2011, fusing groove metal's rhythmic aggression with the compositional depth of progressive metal. The result is a sound that's simultaneously crushing and cerebral — dense, syncopated riff patterns set against dynamic song structures that reward repeated listening. They're among the more technically ambitious heavy acts to emerge from Utah's active underground.
