Hard-hitting metalcore from Austin.
Technical dissonant death metal signed to Willowtip Records. Their sound draws from Obscura-era Gorguts and Immolation, with members Ian Bishop, Chris Hillam, and Sam Kang forming the core lineup since 2012.
Austin one-man instrumental metal project by David Menendez ranging freely across thrash, doom, black, and progressive metal, treating each release as a genre-spanning compositional exercise.
Houston two-piece sludge and groove metal act combining lumbering Southern sludge heaviness with syncopated groove metal rhythms in a stripped-down, punishing format.
Houston's Cavyrns blend doom metal's heavy, slow-moving gravity with progressive metal's compositional ambition, building songs that evolve deliberately through dynamics and tonal shifts.
Brutal Death Metal from Houston, Texas / Seattle, Washington / Phoenix, Arizona (early); Houston, Texas (later).
Celestial Corrosion blends the morbid atmosphere of death metal with the slow, oppressive weight of doom, creating a suffocating sound well-suited to Dallas's heavy underground. Their music moves between glacial tempos and mid-paced death metal aggression.
Celestial Theory is a symphonic melodic death metal band from Mercedes, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley. They fuse death metal's brutality with melodic death metal's harmonic sensibility and orchestral arrangements to create layered, cinematic compositions.
