Suffocating Stoner / Doom Metal / Alternative Rock from Los Angeles, California / El Paso.

Prolific one-man project with over fifteen full-lengths since 2013. Unpredictable, genre-bending compositions blending doom, prog, and symphonic elements.

San Antonio doom and stoner metal band built on crushing, fuzz-soaked riffs and a deliberate slow-burn approach. Cursus navigates desert-heavy sonic territory with the patient, enveloping weight of Texas stone and heat.

Dallas doom and sludge metal band anchored in crushing mid-paced heaviness and a dark, suffocating atmosphere. Cynical delivers the kind of slow, heavy punishment that defines Texas sludge.

Arlington, Texas's Daemora fuses doom metal's crushing, slow-burning weight with death metal's sepulchral menace, arriving at something that feels genuinely heavy rather than merely loud. Since 2017 they've carved a niche in the Metroplex's underground built on patience and density.

Blackened sludge/doom metal with crust influences from Dallas.

Austin's Death Will Tremble drag doom and sludge metal through the Texas heat until everything warps under the weight — slow, corrosive, and built to last. Active since 2016, they're a fixture in the city's heavier underground.

Vicious Death / Thrash Metal from Austin.

One of Austin's most consistent doom bands over twelve years. Six albums of melodic doom.

San Antonio's Devil Mass emerged in 2022 dragging the full weight of death/doom and black metal into the same suffocating ritual. Their sound is a slow-moving catastrophe — cavernous, funereal, and utterly uncompromising in its devotion to darkness.

Savage Doom / Death Metal with Grindcore influences from Plano.

Austin, Texas's Doom Prophet have been delivering heavy, crawling doom metal to the Live Music Capital since 2020, adding a darker, heavier counterweight to a city more famous for its blues and rock scene. Their heavy/doom sound is built on the tradition of slow-motion riff architecture and an oppressive atmosphere that Austin's heat and sprawl seem to generate naturally. They are part of a growing contingent of Texas acts demonstrating that the state's metal underground extends far beyond thrash.
