Colorado Springs's Harvest the People work in the productive intersection of death and groove metal, bringing the latter genre's rhythmic authority to bear on the former's brutality. Formed in 2017, they've been a presence in Colorado's metal underground since.
Denver's Harvested lean into the groove-death metal combination with an ear for the mid-paced heaviness that makes both styles satisfying. Formed in 2022, they're a newer entry in Colorado's consistently strong extreme metal scene.
Hashmaker is a groove/stoner/sludge metal band from Cork, Ireland, active since 2021 and delivering fuzz-laden, groove-heavy riffs through a haze of overdriven amplification. The project channels the riff-worshipping spirit of the genre.
Detroit's Hate Chamber arrived in 2024 fusing groove metal's locked-in heaviness with thrash metal's attacking momentum. The Motor City backdrop feels appropriate — rhythmically precise, mechanically relentless.
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.
Detroit's Hate Unbound pull from death, thrash, and groove metal simultaneously since 2015, creating a thick, multi-layered attack built for the floor of a club. The Motor City's working-class aggression runs through every downpicked riff.
Hatebound is a black/death/groove metal band from Yaroslavl, Russia, formed in 2020. They forge extreme metal at the fierce intersection of black and death metal.
