Born in the devastating underground of Füzesgyarmat, this raw atmospheric black metal act has delivered unflinching intensity since 2024. Rooted in orthodox black metal, their work channels darkness with unwavering conviction.
Named for a surf town on Oahu's North Shore, Los Angeles' Haleiwa play black/death metal with none of that coastal serenity — just caustic, violent extremity from the City of Angels since 2010.
Led by the powerhouse vocals and magnetic stage presence of Lzzy Hale, Halestorm have been Red Lion, Pennsylvania's hard rock gift to the world since forming in 1997. Hale's Grammy-winning performance on 'Love Bites (So Do I)' and her ability to command arena stages have made her one of the most celebrated frontpeople in modern rock. From 'The Strange Case Of...' to 'Back from the Dead,' the band delivers riff-driven hard rock with pop hooks sharp enough to cut through any crowd.
Haleus is a black metal project from Rouen, France, active since 2018 and forging dark, aggressive extremity within the France black metal scene. The project channels the unrelenting intensity of the genre.
Reno's Half a Tusk sharpen melodic death metal into something more technical and angular, blending hook-forward songwriting with demanding guitar work since 2013. They're one of Nevada's more distinctive extreme metal acts.
Long Beach's Half Breed play thrash with a crossover edge — the kind of pit-friendly aggression that owes as much to hardcore as it does to Exodus or Slayer. Formed in 2013, they're a reliable presence in Southern California's underground.
