Heavy metal musical groups from Texas. This category is for past and present heavy metal groups from the US state of Texas .
- Pantera. Might as well start with the most obvious choice. If you were to compile a top ten list of any bands, from anywhere, ever, there’s a pretty strong chance that Pantera would feature.
- MDC. Although they quickly moved to San Francisco, and are currently based in Portland, Millions Of Dead Cops were born in Austin, Texas. They remain one of the most important and shockingly controversial bands from the early years of American hardcore.
- The PAper ChAse. John Congleton is a deeply disturbed man, and as frontman of The PAper ChAse he has spent a career making some of the most unsettling albums in rock music.
- D.R.I. Often citiedas one of the most important exponents of crossover thrash, Houston’s D.R.I. (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles) have managed to survive for 34 years, which is no mean feat for a group dealing in ultra-savage hardcore punk and some of the finest thrash riffs in the game.

- Mothership
- Sweat Lodge
- Absu
- Eternal Champion
- The Sword
- Pantera
If you like your metal drowned in thick fuzz of psychedelic stoner doom, then Wo Fat certainly won't disappoint. Formed in 2006, Wo Fat has been delivering some of the tastiest, swamp-tastic riffs and intense jazzy improvs throughout their six full-lengths (of which 2006's "The Gathering Dark" was the first) and a great number of festival appearanc...
Speaking of stoner psychedelic extravaganza, Mothership is another tremendous band that's been putting Texas on the map recently. The trio of Kelley Juett (guitars, vocals), Kyle Juett (bass, vocals) and Judge Smith (drums) plays a tasty mix of spirited hard rock tempered by laid-back Southern sound à la Molly Hatchet and ZZ Top, all imbued by sini...
By now it's become fairly obvious that Texan metal musicians somehow inherently kick ass in laid-back, groovy stoner doom, and Sweat Lodge is no exception. Ever since their formation in 2010, the Austin quartet has been dripping thick fuzz and toothy riffs into the ears of ever-wanting cult followers. Although still not as well-known as they perhap...
Although a rock-solid black metal band may not be what you'd expect to come from Texas, Absu certainly was just that. The band formed in 1989, and has since gone through a number of extreme metal incarnations, ranging from thrash and death, and finally ending up as the black metal cult favorite known for its Celtic mythology-imbued progressive elem...
One of the things that is fairly evident about a lot of Texan musicians is that they simply don't give a whole lot of fucks about popularity and they just do their own thing, and Eternal Champion certainly adheres to that credo. Formed in 2012 by the guitarist and producer Arthur Rizk, Eternal Champion is one of a great number of bands that decided...
There must be something in Texas' dusty soil that makes it especially fertile for all things related to balls-to-the-wall-style sword and sorcery. Conan's creator Robert E. Howard was born there, Michael Moorcock chose to live there, and Eternal Champion certainly isn't the only heavy metal band that felt the same call. However, of all the Texan me...
The Lone Star State has gifted a plethora of uniquely glorious things to human history, and the iconic Arlington-based band is without a doubt the one that made the greatest impact in heavy metal. After the once-glam had reinvented itself with the arrival of Phil Anselmo and his unique voice, musical style, and well, everything, Pantera's then newl...
- Vladimir Nikolić
