Houston's Cremator blend classic heavy metal hooks with thrash metal aggression in the tradition of Texas's deep and diverse metal scene. They bring the swagger and crunch of the Lone Star underground to every performance.
El Paso's Crematory Digestor churn out filthy death metal and grindcore from the Texas-Mexico borderland underground. Their music is unrelenting and grimy, rooted in the low-budget brutality of regional extreme metal.
Venomous Progressive Death / Black Metal from Fort Worth.
Houston's Crevasse dive into the slow, psychedelic depths of stoner and doom metal with a warmth and heaviness shaped by the Texas heat. Their fuzz-heavy riffs crawl and expand with the patience of the Gulf Coast underground.
Technical Progressive Metal / Grunge / Shred from Dallas.
