German extreme metal project formed in 2025, evolving through multiple stylistic phases from noisecore through black/death metal and grindcore. Their restless genre-hopping reflects an uncompromising, boundary-defying approach to extreme music.
Helvetes Jävla Skit is a grindcore/death metal band from Lund, Sweden, active since 2020 and delivering uncompromising extremity through crushing riffs and guttural vocals. The project channels the relentless brutality of the genre.
Hematogen is a grindcore/brutal death metal band from Yelizovo, Russia, active since 2018 and dealing in the most extreme and guttural forms of death metal. The project channels punishing brutality with unrelenting intensity.
Formed in Mentor, Ohio in 1993, Hemdale were a grind-gore band whose abrasive extremity and relentless live performances earned them a significant underground following before a 1997 split. The band's 1996 split release with Exhumed, In the Name of Gore, remains a key document of the era, and their network extended through drummer Craig Rowe's Visceral Productions, which played a role in the early careers of Nile, Exhumed, and Dying Fetus. Hemdale reformed in 2013 with vocalist and guitarist Matthew Rositano as the sole original member.

Henry Kane is a crust punk/death metal/grindcore band from Sundsvall, Sweden, active since 2017 and delivering uncompromising extremity through crushing riffs and guttural vocals. The project channels the relentless brutality of the genre.
Burlington, Vermont's Heralds of Galaktus bring cosmic-scale destruction down to a very terrestrial grindcore and death metal assault since 2018, naming themselves after a Marvel titan of annihilation while sounding like they could cause some themselves. Short, sharp, and obliterating.
Herege is a death metal/grindcore band from Iúna, Espírito Santo, Brazil, formed in 2016. Their debut album Terra Morta, released in 2016 through Cemitério Records and Cold Art Industry, packs 18 tracks of aggressive grind drawing on influences like Napalm Death, Terrorizer, and Autopsy.
