Austin's DeLizza have been slinging crossover thrash and sludge-soaked metal since 2018, pulling from the Texas capital's eclectically heavy underground. Their sound mashes the short, sharp velocity of crossover punk with the thick, detuned weight of sludge metal — two extremes that share more in common than they might appear.
Thrash/death metal that relocated to Texas. Fast, mean, and old-school.
Heavy Progressive Death Metal from Corpus Christi.
Featured Dobber Beverly (Insect Warfare, Infernal Dominion, Ingurgitate) on drums and synth. Their debut The Ministers of Lamentation channeled 90s-era Incantation/Immolation darkness with atmospheric keyboard elements, standing apart from the typical brutal slam sound of the TXDM scene. Released on Ossuary Industries and Corpse Gristle.
Vicious Death / Thrash Metal from Austin.
Psychedelic Stoner Metal / Rock from Austin.
Ruthless Death Metal from Dallas.
Vicious Death / Thrash Metal from Austin.
Out of Dallas since 2018, Depth-Charge deal in the kind of groove metal that hits like a sledgehammer wrapped in Southern heat. Their Southern metal leanings give their thick, mid-paced riffs a distinctly Texan swagger, landing somewhere between bulldozing groove and swampy heaviness.
