Providence's Hate Lord emerged in 2023 blending the structural weight of deathcore with death metal's more traditional brutality. Rhode Island's small but fierce extreme scene is well-served by their dense, suffocating sound.
Charleston's Hate Machine have been producing death metal out of the South Carolina Lowcountry since 2021, a region not typically on extreme metal's radar — making their presence there all the more notable. Raw and unpolished in the best tradition of underground death.
Allentown, Pennsylvania's Hate Machine bring a straightforward thrash metal attack with blue-collar Lehigh Valley sensibility since 2021. Aggressive without frills, rooted in the no-nonsense side of the genre.

Based out of San Clemente, Hate Meditation have cultivated a distinctly contemplative and sinister strain of black metal since 2013. The Southern California coastal setting belies the music's bleak, inward-facing darkness.
Pennsylvania's Hate Moon weave symphonic grandeur into black metal's inherent coldness, creating music that's simultaneously ornate and menacing since 2017. Orchestral elements don't soften the edge here — they sharpen it.
Hate Path is a black metal project from Saratov, Russia, active since 2009 and forging dark, aggressive extremity within the Russia black metal scene. The project channels the unrelenting intensity of the genre.
