New York raw black metal project stripping the genre down to its most primitive and corrosive essentials, favoring lo-fi hostility over polish. Their sound sits firmly in the underground tradition of American black metal at its most uncompromising.
Buffalo, NY groove metal and metalcore band that combines hard-swinging rhythmic heaviness with the intensity of modern metalcore. Their sound hits like a sledgehammer with a purpose.
New York death doom band that moves between sepulchral dirges and bursts of death metal aggression. Their songs carry real emotional weight, steeped in despair and murky heaviness.
Cornwall, NY black metal act whose misanthropic aggression channels the bleakest strains of the genre. Their music is raw and uncompromising, built for darkness and isolation.
Oswego, NY progressive death metal band that navigates complex song structures and shifting dynamics with a sure hand. Their music is both technically ambitious and genuinely heavy.
Endicott, New York brutal death metal outfit Course of Extinction deal in relentless blast-beat-driven carnage with no interest in melody or restraint. Their music exists to overwhelm, built for devotees of the most uncompromising end of the death metal spectrum.
New York doom and sludge act that wallows in oppressive tempos and dense, distorted heaviness. Their sound sits at the intersection of grief and fury, slow-burning and suffocating.
Saugerties, New York band grinding through death metal and grindcore with short, abrasive blasts of extremity. Rooted firmly in the underground traditions of both genres, they favor speed and rawness.
Rochester, New York thrash and hardcore crossover act channeling the aggressive energy of the mid-1980s crossover scene. Tight, fast, and confrontational, they're a natural fit for fans of both genres.
