Ruthless Folk / Melodic Death Metal from Plano.
Immersive Atmospheric Black / Folk Metal from Keller.
Texas act Rougarou, formed in 2024, takes their name from the Cajun werewolf legend and channels it into raw black metal laced with folk elements — an unsettling mix that roots their sound in regional myth and primitive riffing. It's an early but sharp-edged project with a distinctly American folkloric slant.
Dallas folk/melodic death metal band formed in 2014, merging Scandinavian-influenced melodic death metal with folk elements to craft an adventurous and epic-leaning sound rooted in the Texas metal underground.
Texas-based Weft formed in 2025, weaving atmospheric folk elements into black metal with an approach that draws on the deep traditions of the natural world rather than the urban metal underground. Their Metal Archives classification as atmospheric folk/black metal signals an interest in texture and landscape over pure extremity. Brand new but already aiming at something larger than the standard black metal template.
