Experimental post-black metal/grindcore/hardcore from Dallas.

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

Austin's Dearly Departed work in the depressive and post-black metal space, channeling the emotional weight of those subgenres through Texas's capital city's increasingly restless underground since 2018. Moody, bleak, and atmospheric.

Houston's Hearth Companion bring a warmth and atmospheric depth to post-black metal that reflects both the genre's introspective heritage and Texas's emotional vastness. Formed in 2019, they craft post-black metal that's less ice-cold cathedral and more smoldering midnight fire.

Austin's Voided formed in 2022 playing post-black metal, a style that takes the genre's foundational harshness and opens it outward — longer structures, more dynamic range, and an emotional register that pushes beyond pure aggression. Austin's music scene has an adventurous streak even in its metal corner, and Voided reflect that spirit, building music with room to breathe inside the intensity. Their Bandcamp handle "voided666" balances the post-metal expansiveness with a knowing nod to black metal's rawer roots.
