The Sound of Miami Metal

“The Sound of Miami Metal” digs into the loud, low-end-heavy chaos coming out of South Florida’s underground. This playlist spans decades of heavy music born from the heat and humidity—ranging from the sludge-streaked riffs of Floor and Torche to the breakneck thrash of Thrash Or Die and the technical death metal precision of Abiotic and Gruesome. It’s a mix that reflects the city’s melting-pot intensity, steeped in punk attitude and metallic aggression.

Expect everything from spacey, progressive cuts like Cynic’s “Veil of Maya” and Aghora’s “Atmas Heave” to raw, abrasive moments from bands like WRONG and Maruta. There’s a wide range of genres—doom, death, grind, thrash, groove, even some weird psych-sludge. Miami might be known for beaches and bass, but this collection proves it's also home to some of the heaviest, weirdest metal in the country.
