Thrash metal outfit from Alcorcón in the Madrid metropolitan area, active since 2019. Their death-themed name in an obscure linguistic twist matches relentless thrash metal aggression.
Phoenix's Harvest Gulgaltha have been fusing black and death metal since 2012 with a desert brutality that channels the Sonoran landscape's extremity into music. Their name references the biblical site of crucifixion, signaling both their lyrical intent and sonic violence.
Worcester, Massachusetts's Harvest Manipulation weaponize black metal, death metal, and grindcore into a chaotic, multi-headed assault that refuses to stay within any single genre's borders. Active since 2018, they operate in the most extreme margins of the heavy underground.
Virginia's Harvest the Lost arrived in 2024 with blackened deathcore built from converging extremes — death metal's brutality, black metal's atmosphere, and deathcore's breakdown-driven intensity. A young Warrenton band already operating in fully hostile territory.
Weirton, West Virginia's Harvist have maintained a long, solitary vigil in black metal's coldest corridors since 2001, a persistence that gives their sound the weathered quality of music made far from trends and audiences. Their isolation is part of the aesthetic.
Atmospheric black metal project from Frankfurt, Germany, formed in 2019. Their ethereal sound layers rich atmospheric textures over black metal foundations from the financial capital of Europe.
Hasaleth is a melodic black metal band from Poland, formed in 2025. They craft atmospheric melodic black metal with sweeping melodies and emotional depth.
Hass is a black metal project originating in Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil, formed in 2001 by the solo musician Enmys. The band has built an extensive catalogue of raw black metal releases, including the albums Unmoralisch Black Metal (2003), Unprocessed Dementia (2011), and Applause (2013), with activity continuing through subsequent years.
Grindcore and sludge metal act from the Helsinki-Espoo metropolitan area, active since 2016. Their Finnish-language name adds local flavor to a sound that grinds between extreme tempos and crushing weight.
