San Antonio black metal act Covered in Flies play in the raw and stripped-down tradition of the genre, favoring bleak minimalism over production polish. They're part of San Antonio's growing extreme metal underground.
Abilene doom band carving slow, desolate heaviness from the flat, sun-scorched landscape of West Texas. Their riffs move like heat shimmer — languid, distorted, and quietly menacing.
Fort Worth heavy metal band bringing classic metal sensibility and hook-driven songwriting to the North Texas scene. Their approach is rooted in the genre's traditional values — riffs, energy, and memorable choruses.
Devastating Deathcore from Kermit/Odessa.
Austin death metal and grindcore band delivering short, brutal material with Texas underground credibility. Fast, loud, and uncompromising, they've been a fixture of the Austin extreme metal community.
Texas slam death metal project wallowing in the subgenre's most extreme end — bowel-deep gutturals, grinding rhythms, and pure sonic grotesquerie. Strictly underground, strictly brutal.
Houston metalcore and progressive death metal act with real compositional range, balancing crushing heaviness against melodic and technical passages. They carry the ambition Houston's heavy music scene has cultivated for decades.
San Antonio trio fusing black metal's cold menace with the suffocating weight of doom and sludge. Their music moves with deliberate malice, rooted deep in the South Texas underground.
Houston act colliding death metal ferocity with grinding velocity and unexpected power metal dynamics. An unlikely but punishing combination drawn from the deep well of Houston's extreme music scene.
