Atlanta's Halmos have been dragging riffs through the Georgia heat since 2012, fusing the molasses weight of sludge metal with the hazy warmth of stoner grooves. Their sound sits in the slow, crushing pocket where feedback meets sweat.
Spawned in Iași's underground, this melodic death/folk metal outfit channels romanian ferocity since 2014. Their work explores the genre's heaviest territories through savage delivery.
Forged in Redditch's metal community, this death/thrash metal act channels punishing aggression since 2020. Punishing compositions and guttural fury form the core of their sound.
Formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1994 as In Sect before adopting the Halo name in 1997, the band developed a confrontational sound rooted in drone, sludge, and industrial metal in the tradition of Swans and Godflesh. They relocated to London and released a series of albums including Massive Corporate Disease (1999) and Degree Zero Point of Implosion (2000) that explored themes of societal corruption and post-industrial despair with grinding sonic density. Now operating as a duo of Skye Klein and Robert Allen, Halo have been signed to Relapse Records.
Born out of rural Pennsylvania in 2022, Halo of Flesh deal in raw black metal and noise — corrosive, lo-fi, and deliberately hostile. There is nothing polished about what they do, and that is entirely the point.
Halo of Miasma is a black metal project from Poland, active since 2018 and forging dark, aggressive extremity within the Poland black metal scene. The project channels the unrelenting intensity of the genre.
A thunderous ambient/black metal entity from Darlington, contributing to the british underground since 2004. Icy melodies interwoven with blast-beaten fury characterize their output.
Scorching melodic death metal/metalcore from Finland, contributing to the national scene since 2022. Rooted in old-school traditions, their compositions deliver unrelenting heaviness.
Out of Concord, New Hampshire, Halo Pus strip black metal down to its most primitive bones — cold riffs, hissing production, and an atmosphere that feels like winter on a dead road. Raw and uncompromising since 2020.
