San Francisco's Hell Fire have been feeding the Bay Area's appetite for old-school speed and heavy metal since 2016, channeling the raw swagger of the genre's golden era with genuine reverence and plenty of leather. Their riffs hit like a fist to the face on a Friday night.
Emerging from Saint-Dié-des-Vosges's underground, this black/death metal act has been forging vicious sonic fury since 2016. Their sound channels tremolo-driven fury and blasting percussion through walls of distortion.

Green Bay's Hell Hound tears through thrash metal with hardcore's blunt-force directness, making for a brawling hybrid that leaves little room to breathe. Active since 2015, they play fast, short, and mean — no filler, no apologies.
Cookeville, Tennessee's Hell Hound keeps the fires of traditional heavy metal and hard rock burning with blue-collar conviction. Since 2015, the band has delivered straightforward guitar-driven metal rooted firmly in the genre's working-class backbone.
