Los Angeles's Harum Scarum have been a fixture of the city's progressive thrash underground since 2014, fusing speed metal's kinetic energy with progressive structures that don't sacrifice aggression for sophistication. They move fast and think hard simultaneously.
Milwaukee death metal act Haruspex have been a cornerstone of Wisconsin's underground since 2012, delivering the kind of punishing, technically adept death metal that the city's scene has long championed. Their longevity speaks to their quality and consistency.
Haruspex is a black metal band from Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, Brazil, blending traditional black metal with blackgaze, ambient, and industrial influences. The band released a self-titled album on October 20, 2022, featuring members Yan Moroz on guitar and vocals, Eddie Freire on drums, and Rodolfo Charelli on synthesizers, with mixing and mastering handled by Jonathan Rissi. Their thematic material draws on historical and classical subjects, including dedications to the barbarian sackings of Rome.
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.
