Newly formed in Cincinnati in 2024, Haruspex Chants mine death-doom's most ritualistic qualities — the genre's glacial pacing and suffocating atmosphere rendered with a deliberateness that befits a band whose name evokes ancient omen-reading. An auspicious debut presence.
Thrash metal outfit from Alcorcón in the Madrid metropolitan area, active since 2019. Their death-themed name in an obscure linguistic twist matches relentless thrash metal aggression.
Heavy/thrash metal and hardcore band from Berlin, Germany, active since 2007. Their aggressive crossover combines the riffing power of heavy and thrash metal with hardcore punk urgency from Germany's capital.
Phoenix's Harvest Gulgaltha have been fusing black and death metal since 2012 with a desert brutality that channels the Sonoran landscape's extremity into music. Their name references the biblical site of crucifixion, signaling both their lyrical intent and sonic violence.
Worcester, Massachusetts's Harvest Manipulation weaponize black metal, death metal, and grindcore into a chaotic, multi-headed assault that refuses to stay within any single genre's borders. Active since 2018, they operate in the most extreme margins of the heavy underground.
Harvest Moon was a power and progressive metal band from Santos, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2018 and now split up. The project released the EP Decline to Disorder in 2021 through Talheim Records, blending progressive and power metal songwriting across five tracks.
Salt Lake City's Harvest of Ash bend doom and post-metal into something expansive and unhurried, with the wide-open quality of Utah's landscape seemingly built into their sound. Since 2020, they've occupied the contemplative, atmosphere-heavy end of the spectrum.
Virginia's Harvest the Lost arrived in 2024 with blackened deathcore built from converging extremes — death metal's brutality, black metal's atmosphere, and deathcore's breakdown-driven intensity. A young Warrenton band already operating in fully hostile territory.
Denver's Harvest the Murdered have been delivering unambiguous death metal since 2008, their longevity in Colorado's metal scene a testament to the consistency of their brutality. Their name makes no promises they don't keep in the music.
