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.
Nashville's Halo Theory launched in 2023 blending the fist-pumping lift of power metal with the neck-snapping drive of groove, a combination that sounds right at home in a city that takes its heavy music seriously.
Fresh out of Asheville, North Carolina, Halogi arrived in 2025 flying the flag for soaring power metal in a city more often associated with folk and psych. Expect big riffs, bigger choruses, and the mountain air to carry them.
Fort Worth's Halopent have been running death and thrash together since 2018, sharpening the collision into something lean and punishing. Texas grit runs through every riff.
Halor is a heavy metal band from Szombathely, Hungary, active since 2021 and forging classic heavy metal with conviction and power. The project channels the timeless spirit of traditional metal riffage.
