Jamestown, New York deathcore and melodeath project. Piercing beauty from the southern tier of Western New York.
Syracuse, New York progressive metal project named after Xenophon's account of a Greek army's perilous march home. Their 2017 single The Chamber hints at the kind of cerebral, historically informed metal that the name demands.
New York groove metal project from the New York underground.
Long Island death metal outfit whose 2013 debut Konzert — German for 'concert' — nods to European influences while rooted in New York's legendary extreme music tradition. A band operating in the shadow of Long Island's death metal heritage.
New York City thrash metal outfit whose 2015 EP The Repression Chapters delivers politically charged speed metal from the heart of Manhattan. The name and music channel punk's DIY ethos through thrash metal's precision.
Long Island deathcore outfit with a massive nine-release catalog since 2013. Their full-length Absolute Hope Absolute Hell and steady stream of singles demonstrate relentless productivity from a band deeply embedded in New York's breakdown-heavy extreme scene.
Syracuse, New York thrash metal act arriving in 2023 with a self-titled EP. Sharp, focused thrash from Upstate New York's scrappy underground, carrying the torch for a genre that refuses to die.
Groove metal project that migrated from Orlando to New York City. Their 2014 EP Thermobaric Waker — named after a type of explosive weapon — delivers concussive, rhythmically driven heaviness with the precision its military-grade title implies.
New York City death metal enigma whose 2013 debut Cosmic Collision Into The Fifth Dimension launches into interstellar extremity. The name alone — part alien taxonomy, part fever dream — signals a band operating far outside conventional death metal's orbit.
