Canandaigua, New York's Haborym bludgeons with brutal death metal authority, offering the full-spectrum punishment that the subgenre requires since their 2024 formation. Dense, guttural, and relentless.
Finnish power metal project emerging in 2023. Their monstrous name matches larger-than-life compositions channeling the epic traditions of European power metal through a Finnish lens.

Atlanta's Hackenschmied is a freshly minted raw black metal project, born in 2025 and committed to the genre's most primitive and abrasive aesthetic. Little studio gloss, maximum sonic hostility.
Allston, Massachusetts is an unlikely home for a stoner metal band, but Hackman has made it work since 2011, fusing the genre's hazy, riff-heavy grooves with the Boston area's characteristically no-nonsense underground ethos.
German death metal band from Aalen/Abtsgmund, active since 2008. Their album Inhabitants Of Carcosa, mastered by Dan Swano and featuring cosmic horror themes inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, showcases technically adept death metal with guest contributions and artwork by Bjorn Goosses.
Northampton, Pennsylvania's Hackpeter mashes death metal's surgical brutality against grindcore's frantic brevity, producing a sound that's equal parts calculated and chaotic since their 2019 formation.
