Atmospheric black metal collaboration from Belgium between VaathV and prolific experimentalist Deha, formed in 2024. Their debut EP Pruna, produced at Opus Magnum Studio in Brussels, delivers two sprawling tracks of glacial black metal evoking desolate tundra landscapes across thirty minutes.
Hymnodya is a death metal band from Italy, active since 2021 and delivering uncompromising extremity through crushing riffs and guttural vocals. The project channels the relentless brutality of the genre.
Hymnr is a black metal project from Russia, active since 2021 and forging dark, aggressive extremity within the Russia black metal scene. The project channels the unrelenting intensity of the genre.
Fresno's Hymns to the Stone move at the pace of sediment, layering stoner fuzz, sludge grime, and doom weight into slow-burning rituals of sound. Since 2014, they've treated heaviness as a meditative practice rather than a competition.
Thunderous black metal emanating from Adelsö, active since 2022 within Sweden's metal scene. Their sound channels tremolo-driven fury and blasting percussion through walls of distortion.
Hyoid is a thrash metal band from Lecce, Italy, active since 2015 and delivering aggressive, riff-driven thrash with relentless intensity. The project channels the speed and fury of the genre.
Hyon is a heavy/power metal band from El Tigre, Anzoátegui, Venezuela, active since 2008. The band released a demo titled "Versos de rencor" in 2010, followed by the singles "Obtener la victoria" (2012) and "El príncipe celestial" (2013), the latter exploring themes of divine protection and salvation. They operate as an independent act and feature a five-piece lineup drawn partly from members of other Venezuelan metal outfits.
Kansas City's Hypaethral arrived in 2023 with the surgical precision of technical death metal already fully formed, weaving intricate fretwork and chaotic structure into something that sounds both calculated and utterly unhinged. A young band with immediate teeth.
Hyper Talbot is a doom/stoner/sludge metal band from Algeciras, Spain, active since 2014 and delivering crushing, fuzz-laden heaviness where doom's oppressive weight meets stoner metal's hazy grooves. The project channels low-end power and psychedelic atmosphere.
