Crushing Death Metal / Grindcore out of Texas.
Originally from Ohio, now Austin-based. Blackened thrash perfection.
A Houston, Texas death metal act formed in 2022, Skeptic adds to the city's long-running tradition of uncompromising extreme metal with a direct, no-frills approach to the genre's fundamental elements.
Savage Death / Black Metal with Punk influences from Texas (early); San Diego, California (later).
Heavy Sludge / Death Metal / Hardcore out of Texas.
Razor-sharp Thrash Metal / Crossover / Hardcore from Houston.
Also from the Houston area, this New Caney-based Skourge (formed 2014) operates at the death metal and grindcore end of the extreme metal spectrum — shorter, faster, and more brutal than their Houston namesake, with grind's trademark disregard for anything resembling polish.
Ripping Death Metal / Deathcore from Dallas.
One-man bulldozing slam project, formerly known as Slam Induced Groove. Prolific output on CDN Records.
Savage Slam / Brutal Death Metal from Beeville.
A Fort Worth, Texas band forged in 2024, Slashed to Bits operate at the savage intersection of black, death, and thrash metal — a triad that prioritizes venom and speed over any single genre's orthodoxy. Their recent formation places them squarely in the current wave of extreme metal revivalism active across the DFW underground.
Punishing Death Metal from San Antonio.
San Antonio, Texas's Slaughter Witch have been dealing in death metal since 2017, occupying the same city as Slaughter Swamp and adding to San Antonio's quietly fertile extreme metal ecosystem. Their name plants one foot in occult imagery and another in the genre's violent traditions.
Solemn Penitence is a blackened death metal band from Longview, Texas, formed in 2025, merging the ferocity of death metal with the cold, abrasive atmosphere of black metal.
Solid Feces is a brutal death metal band from Austin, Texas, formed in 2021, delivering the punishing low-end heaviness, guttural vocals, and blastbeat-driven extremity characteristic of the brutal death metal subgenre.
