Hard-hitting Groove Metal / Metalcore from Dallas.

Austin's Taverner occupy the volatile space where metalcore collides with powerviolence and grindcore, a combination that makes their music as chaotic as the city's music scene is eclectic. Formed in 2016, they channel the blistering pace of powerviolence into song structures that occasionally open up just long enough to crush you with a metalcore breakdown before pulling the floor out again.

Out of Friendswood, Texas, The Crypt Alive have been working the fertile intersection of melodic death metal and metalcore since 2012, anchoring Scandinavian melodic influence to the punishing energy of American metalcore. Their Houston-area roots give the music a particular intensity — a region that has long pushed its heavy bands to go harder and mean it.

Lubbock's The Dead See occupy the harsh borderland between metalcore and sludge metal, where punishing breakdowns collide with the oppressive drag and dissonance of sludge. Formed in 2007, they've spent nearly two decades refining a sound that captures the desolation of the West Texas flatlands — sparse, heavy, and relentless. Their Bandcamp presence reflects a band that has stayed true to that bleak vision without compromise.
