In the undercurrent of Lexington, KY’s heavy music scene, few bands hit as viscerally as CROP. Since forming in 2020, this four-piece—Marc Phillips (vocals), Zach Hunter (guitar), Braun Dabney (bass), and Andrew Beauvier (drums)—has crafted a sound that feels both dangerously raw and unflinchingly refined, grounded in the crushing gravity of 90s grunge but stretched into something darker, doomier, and entirely their own.

Ohio's thrash torchbearers VINDICATOR are gearing up for the release of Whispers of Death, the band's fifth and most destructive full-length album.

Hailing from the scorched metal battleground of Perth, Western Australia, Ashen are a four-piece death metal force that have been carving their mark into the underground since 2019. Their 2021 debut EP Godless Oath (Bitter Loss Records) drew immediate praise from the likes of No Clean Singing, Decibel Magazine, and death metal purists worldwide—thanks in no small part to the razor-sharp production of Marko Tervonen (The Crown) and the menacing visual work of Giannis Nakos (Remedy Art Design).

Supernaughty is a powerhouse stoner metal quartet from Livorno, Italy, forged in 2014 by underground scene veterans: Filippo Del Bimbo (lead guitar), Alessio Franceschi (drums), Angelo Fagni (vocals/rhythm guitar), and Luca Raffoni (bass). After years of sharpening their skills in Italy’s indie rock and heavy circuits, the four musicians officially gathered in 2013, cutting their teeth on Sabbath-worship before conjuring their own riff-heavy anthems.

Madison, Wisconsin-based atmospheric post-black metal outfit CORRIDORÉ will release their new full-length, Abandon, on August 22nd via Hypaethral Records.

Forged in 2016, CORRIDORÉ crafts a sound rooted in the weight and atmosphere of post-metal, filtered through the blistering aggression of black metal and the introspective haze of shoegaze. Drawing comparisons to genre-defying acts like Deafheaven, Falls Of Rauros, Nothing, and Inter Arma, the band uses contrast and dynamic tension to powerful effect moving seamlessly between explosive blast beats, towering tremolo riffs, and moments of stark, melodic stillness.
