New York's Heretic Bodyhammer arrived in 2022 with a death metal attack that the name describes better than most press releases could — blunt, aggressive, and deliberately mechanical in its devastation. They hit like the instrument in question.
From Saugerties, New York, Hexe Krieg weaponize the convergence of thrash, death, and speed metal into something relentlessly kinetic. Since 2012 the band has pursued a style that is as mechanically aggressive as it is single-minded in purpose.
Buffalo, New York's Hubris channel a different kind of pride — the black metal variety — since 2015, operating with the bleak ferocity that the industrial ruins of western New York seem to inspire. Cold and unrelenting.
New York's Humanity Falls have been dissecting death metal and grindcore through an experimental lens since 2009, treating tempo, structure, and brutality as variables rather than constants. Technical, disorienting, and genuinely unsettling.
New York's Hung take the melodic and progressive side of death metal seriously, building dense, shifting compositions since 2014 that reward repeated listens. Technically ambitious without losing sight of the riff.
Rochester's stoner metal crew pilots a vessel loaded with fuzz-soaked riffs and woozy desert grooves, pulling hard on the tiller since 2015. Their sound sits somewhere between a bar-room strut and a narcotics-induced drift.
New York progressive metal act whose layered song structures and shifting time signatures reward patient listeners, building elaborate compositions that carry the density of glacial formations in slow, inevitable motion.
New York heavy metal practitioners who have been delivering no-nonsense traditional metal workouts since 2018, built on strong riffs and classic structures that trust the songs to speak for themselves.
New York black/sludge outfit operating in the space between blackened tremolo ferocity and the slow, grinding weight of sludge — an uneasy tension that gives their sound a lurching, unpredictable menace.
