Formed in 2023 out of Lubbock, Texas, RigJaw brings a no-frills approach to groove metal rooted in the heavy-working, blue-collar energy of West Texas. Their sound leans on down-tuned riffs and punishing midtempo rhythms that hit like the oil fields the region is known for. A young band with momentum, they're one of the newer acts putting Lubbock on the map for heavy music.
Dallas thrash metal with blistering technical riffs. Mike Scaccia was one of Texas's greatest guitarists.
Crushing Technical Deathcore from Bay Area, California (early); Texas (later).
Colossal Doom Metal out of Texas.
Houston's Ripper emerged in 2020 with a commitment to traditional heavy metal rooted in the Texas underground. Their sound channels the raw, no-frills energy of classic metal — riff-driven and unpretentious — with the grit you'd expect from a band forged in one of the country's most storied metal cities.
Ripping Power / Thrash Metal from Fort Worth.
Relentless Heavy / Thrash Metal out of Texas.
Aggressive post-hardcore from Denton.
High-energy punk rock from Denton, now Austin-based. Nearly three decades of fiery garage-punk.
