Madison, Wisconsin's House of Lud have been stacking stoner and doom metal in equal measure since 2018, producing riffs that settle in like weather — slow-moving, overcast, and unavoidable. Their tone carries genuine weight.
Vicious melodic heavy metal project from Turku, carving a path through Finland's underground since 2018. Powerful vocals and driving riffs define their contribution to traditional metal.
House of Protection is the Los Angeles duo of Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta, both known for intense, rhythmically physical work before launching this project in 2024. The music takes post-hardcore and hardcore punk as a base, then drives it through electronics, trap percussion, trip-hop atmosphere, industrial textures, and shouted dual-vocal hooks. Their debut material introduced a compact but explosive sound: Harrison's guitar lines and vocals move between abrasion and melody while Improta's drumming supplies a restless, athletic pulse that often feels as central as the riffs. GALORE established the group as more than a side project, and Outrun You All expanded the approach with darker, more nocturnal production and broader alternative rock colors. The band's short history matters because the context is unusually clear: two musicians with heavy-scene credibility using a new project to shed expectations, make rhythm the lead instrument, and keep the communal pressure of hardcore while letting synths, samples, and club-weight low end shape the attack. The result feels engineered for rooms where rhythm and impact collide.
Progressive metal band from Dortmund, Germany, active since 2014. Their intricate, technically demanding compositions push metal into progressive territory from the Westphalian industrial city.
House of Usher is a death metal band from Eskilstuna, Sweden, active since 1994 and delivering uncompromising extremity through crushing riffs and guttural vocals. The project channels the relentless brutality of the genre.
Housebreakers is a heavy metal band from Turin, Italy, active since 2022 and forging classic heavy metal with conviction and power. The project channels the timeless spirit of traditional metal riffage.
A brutal thrash metal entity from Venice, contributing to the italian underground since 2006. Razor-sharp riffing and breakneck tempos carry the spirit of classic thrash.
Hout is a black metal/punk band from Russia, formed in 2023. They fuse raw black metal aggression with punk's rebellious energy.
Emerging from Amersfoort's underground, this brutal death metal act has been forging crushing sonic fury since 2024. Heavy, downtuned riffing and relentless percussion drive their compositions.
