Houston sludge outfit Lavos drag their riffs through the bayou, piling on layers of feedback and distortion with the swampy menace that only Texas can fully deliver.

Crushing Sludge Metal from San Antonio.
Fantasy-themed speed metal rippers forged in Houston's heavy underground. Released on Cease and Destroy Records.
Venomous Depressive Black Metal from Houston.
Heavy Heavy Metal from Fort Worth.
