“The Sound of New England Metal” is a heavy-hitting dive into one of the most consistently brutal corners of American metal. Spanning old-school death metal to modern technical thrash, this playlist brings together bands from across New England who’ve carved a place in the underground. From the crisp riffing of Shadows Fall and the relentless speed of Revocation to underground crushers like The Last King and Churchburn, this collection paints a wide picture of what the Northeast's metal scene has to offer.
Expect full-throttle pit-starters like Lich King's “Combat Mosh” alongside sludge-coated pounders from acts like Coma Hole and Bone Church. The mix balances tight technicality, full-bodied doom, and raw aggression throughout—there’s no shortage of blast beats, gut-twisting growls, and riff-led chaos. Whether it’s the groove-laden grind of Chaos Machine or the theatrical sci-fi death metal of The Beast of Nod, this playlist celebrates the intensity and variety of metal thriving just north of NYC.
