Minneapolis's Hate for Humanity channel black metal's malevolent atmosphere through a thrash metal chassis since 2020, the result a cold and aggressive hybrid with the speed of the latter and the contempt of the former.
Hate Gods is a Brazilian black metal project formed in 2021, working in the depressive and suicidal black metal style. The band released multiple recordings in its debut year, including the album Noctívago Autocídio Lucífugo and the EP Condescendência Extinta, both issued in 2021 through their Bandcamp page.
Black/death metal band from Seville, Spain, active since 2009. Their fierce blend of black and death metal aggression brings extreme music to the cultural capital of Andalusia.
