Blackened doom/death metal act from Memmingen, Germany, formed in 2021. Their suffocating blend of blackened atmosphere and doom-death heaviness creates a uniquely oppressive sonic landscape.
Hailing from Rimini in Italy, this black metal outfit channels aggressive energy since 2025. Atmospheric depth and feral intensity coexist in their compositions.
New Orleans's Hate Seed arrived in 2019 carrying death metal into a city already thick with extreme music traditions. The NOLA atmosphere lends the music a murky, humid quality — death metal soaked in bayou air.
Hate Spectrum is a solo thrash metal and deathcore project from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, founded in 2022 by Eder Santana, a former member of Gangrena Gasosa. The project released the full-length album Egotrip in January 2023, a 13-track record preceded by several singles released throughout 2022.
Thrash metal/metalcore band from Hanover, Germany, active since 2004, blending thrash and death metal with hardcore. Having performed at major festivals including Dynamo, Wacken, and With Full Force, their tracks received heavy rotation on Viva during their two-decade career.
Heavy speed thrash metal outfit from Vantaa in the Helsinki metropolitan area, active since 2016. Their marksmanship name matches precise, high-velocity riffing that targets from multiple thrash metal angles.
Western Massachusetts's Hate the Adversary have been pushing crossover thrash into groove metal territory since 2019, resulting in music that hits as hard as it moves. There's a regional punk-meets-metal pedigree behind the attack.
Akron's Hate Theory have been working the fertile middle ground between death metal and metalcore since 2017, building a sound with the brutality of the former and the structural hooks of the latter. Ohio's industrial heritage informs their heavy, purposeful approach.
Detroit's Hate Unbound pull from death, thrash, and groove metal simultaneously since 2015, creating a thick, multi-layered attack built for the floor of a club. The Motor City's working-class aggression runs through every downpicked riff.
