Towering Heavy / Doom / Groove Metal from Dallas.

Heavy Death Metal / Hardcore out of Texas.

West Odessa, Texas is not a place typically associated with brutal death metal, but Worm Food have been pushing that boundary since forming in 2023. The band brings a punishing, low-end-heavy attack to the West Texas oil country, trafficking in the genre's most extreme sonic violence.

A Texas-based project formed in 2024, Worminfestedcorpse operate at the most punishing end of the brutal death metal and slam spectrum. Brand new to the scene, the band is already committed to the genre's most extreme sonic and lyrical territory, with a name that makes no pretense about the aesthetic.

Raw Death / Black Metal out of Texas.

San Antonio black metal act formed in 2023, channeling raw, misanthropic energy from one of Texas's largest cities into a sound built on cold tremolo riffing and ceremonial malice. A newer entry into the Texas extreme underground, operating out of a city with a surprisingly fierce black metal contingent.

Devastating Death Metal out of Texas.

Denton, Texas's Wrought of Obsidian have been one of the more distinctive voices in the state's black metal underground since 2010, working a melodic black/death vein with sharp, often haunting guitar work that draws on Scandinavian melodic traditions without simply replicating them. Denton's art-heavy cultural scene has clearly left its mark on their approach.

Project of Imprecation vocalist David Herrera. Black/death/thrash/punk hybrid. Released a split with Hexella on Goat Throne Records.
