Hailing from Santa Rosa in the Texas Hill Country, Devil Beheaded have been conjuring their blackened heavy/thrash assault since 2014. The band's sound sits at a nasty crossroads — the feral swagger of old-school thrash corrupted by the cold menace of black metal.

San Antonio's Devil Mass emerged in 2022 dragging the full weight of death/doom and black metal into the same suffocating ritual. Their sound is a slow-moving catastrophe — cavernous, funereal, and utterly uncompromising in its devotion to darkness.

San Antonio's Devilvvorshipper have been crafting unrelenting black metal since 2021, operating from the fertile and increasingly dark underground that the city has cultivated. Their approach is orthodox and unsparing — atmosphere built from cold tremolo, raw production, and unwavering devotion to the genre's bleakest traditions.

Out of Decatur, Texas, Devouring Plague have been delivering deathcore-laced death metal since 2011, bringing a small-town brutality to a genre that typically thrives in urban centers. More than a decade of existence has sharpened their sound into something dense, crushing, and unapologetically heavy.
