Savage Gothic / Groove / Death Metal out of Texas.
Devastating Deathcore from San Antonio.
Ruthless Black / Death Metal from Clute.
Lubbock, Texas death metal outfit Thy Kingdom Denied have been active since 2017, carrying the torch for brutality in a West Texas city more associated with country music than extreme metal. Their isolation from the major Texas metal centers of Dallas and Houston seems to have sharpened rather than softened their approach.
Dallas crossover outfit Tolar have been blending thrash aggression with death metal ferocity since 2014, delivering high-velocity riffs and punk-driven energy that keeps their sound firmly rooted in the pit-ready tradition of Texas heavy music.
San Antonio's Toluca have been grinding out a punishing fusion of death metal and grindcore since 2012, favoring short, brutal bursts of noise that align with the most uncompromising end of the Texas underground.
Heavy Death Metal out of Texas.
A brand new Houston, Texas outfit formed in 2025, Torso Mastectomy dives straight into slam and brutal death metal's most visceral territory, adding to Texas' deep tradition of extreme heaviness.
An Austin, Texas raw black metal act formed in 2022, Torture embraces lo-fi production and primitive aggression — deliberately corrosive and antagonistic in the tradition of underground USBM's most unpolished factions.
