Hostinalia is an extreme heavy metal band from the Pernambuco metal scene in northeastern Brazil, formed in 2020. The band released the album "Millions of Orphans" alongside singles including "Morbid Anxiety" and "Black Hole", blending melodic black and gothic metal elements.
Bred in Budva / Tivat's underground, this act delivers savage death/thrash metal since 2017. Rooted in old-school traditions, their compositions deliver unrelenting heaviness.
Melodic death metal project from Germany, active since 2016. Named 'Enemy of Mankind' in Latin, their sound channels sophisticated melodic death metal with philosophical underpinnings.
Hosts of Lord formed in 2020 and operate within the grimmer traditions of black metal, conjuring cold, ceremonial darkness with a militancy implied by the name itself. An act steeped in orthodox hostility.
Hot Blood is a thrash metal band from Rome, Italy, active since 2014 and delivering aggressive, riff-driven thrash with relentless intensity. The project channels the speed and fury of the genre.
Hot Cherry is a stoner metal/rock band from Livorno, Italy, active since 2016 and delivering fuzz-laden, groove-heavy riffs through a haze of overdriven amplification. The project channels the riff-worshipping spirit of the genre.
Gainesville, Florida's Hot Graves are a swamp-rotten convergence of death metal, black metal, thrash, and crust punk, active since 2011 and sounding like something that crawled up from Florida soil. Ferocious, irreverent, and distinctly Southern in its ugliness.
Grindcore and death metal act from Marseille, active since 2013. Their self-deprecating name masks a serious commitment to grinding extremity from the Mediterranean coast's underground.
Manchester's Hot Milk burst onto the UK rock scene with an infectious mix of pop-punk energy, synth-laden hooks, and punk attitude. The dual-fronted band, led by vocalists Han Sherlock and Jim Shaw, delivers anthemic songs that channel Paramore and Fall Out Boy through a distinctly British sensibility. Their releases 'Are You Feeling Alive?' and 'A Call To The Void' position them as one of the most exciting acts in the new wave of UK pop-punk.
