Hailing from the small coastal community of Moyock, North Carolina, Hail!Hornet have been grinding out heavy sludge metal since 2011. Thick, churning, and corrosive — the kind of sound that feels like standing too close to a transformer fire.
Bred in Zaandam's underground, this act delivers brutal folk metal (early); folk (later) since 2020. Tight compositions and aggressive delivery characterize their particular approach.
Swiss black metal act from Frauenfeld, active since 2019, brewing a wild mix of NWoBHM, punk, and black metal. Their self-titled album and Haile Selacid Ultras fuse irreverent punk energy with metallic grit in a uniquely chaotic blend.
From the small town of Milford, Indiana, Hailshot traffic in the slow and heavy — stoner grooves layered over thick doom foundations. Their sound is the musical equivalent of a bar fight in slow motion.
Hailsteel is a heavy/speed metal act from Athens, Greece, active since 2022 and channeling aggressive, heavy music through its uncompromising artistic vision. The project delivers powerful metal from the Greece scene.
Black metal project from Galicia, Spain, formed in 2021. Their atmospheric approach channels the misty, Celtic-influenced landscapes of northwestern Spain through raw black metal.
Melodic Black Metal force from Sundsvall, furious and relentless since 2019. Icy melodies interwoven with blast-beaten fury characterize their output.
Black metal/crust hybrid from Karlsruhe, Germany, formed in 2025. Their volatile blend of black metal atmosphere and crust punk aggression represents the newest wave of genre-defying extremity from Baden.
Haine is a US black metal project founded in 2018 whose name — French for "hatred" — signals exactly the kind of cold, misanthropic atmosphere they pursue. Sparse on location, heavy on malice.
