Chicago's Hate Force have been dealing death metal from the city's hard-edged underground since 2014. Straightforward in their mission, they favor dense, grinding execution over experimentation — Midwestern death metal with industrial-city backbone.
Western Massachusetts's Hate the Adversary have been pushing crossover thrash into groove metal territory since 2019, resulting in music that hits as hard as it moves. There's a regional punk-meets-metal pedigree behind the attack.
Hateful Three is a thrash metal/crossover band from Montbéliard, France, active since 2017 and fusing the aggression of thrash metal with hardcore punk's raw energy and attitude. The project delivers high-octane crossover fury.
Hateseed is a crossover/groove metal band from La Spezia, Italy, active since 2019 and delivering heavy, rhythmic riffage with crushing mid-tempo intensity. The project channels the headbanging immediacy of groove metal.
Devastating Death Metal / Crossover from Dallas.
Los Angeles crossover outfit Haunted Garage slam thrash metal and hardcore together with the irreverence and raw energy of a band that clearly had as much fun making the music as they expect the crowd to have hearing it.
Thrash metal/crossover band from Aargau, Switzerland, active since 2017. Their high-energy blend of thrash metal speed and crossover punk attitude delivers the kind of pit-ready intensity that keeps the Swiss thrash scene alive.
Winston-Salem's Headripper launched in 2020 with crossover thrash in their blood and hardcore fury in their lungs, making them one of North Carolina's most promising new practitioners of the genre. Their approach is fast, ugly, and deliberately unrefined in all the right ways.
Blistering Crossover / Death / Thrash Metal out of Texas.
