From Lyon in France, this post-black/sludge metal act brings relentless intensity since 2012. Cold atmospheres and venomous vocals define their particular approach to the genre.
Hadalunna is a five-piece melodic metal band from La Plata, Argentina, featuring vocalist Rose Heiderscheid, guitarists Maxi Obón and Rose Heiderscheid, keyboardist Maximiliano Pistara, bassist Emanuel Etcheverry, and drummer Iván Scarsella. The band debuted in March 2017 with the EP Rising with Dying Wings, a five-track release blending symphonic keyboards, melodic guitar work, and clean vocals across tracks such as Spiders Over Me and The Flight of the Crow.
Haddock is a doom/stoner metal band from Karlstad, Sweden, active since 2013 and delivering crushing, fuzz-laden heaviness where doom's oppressive weight meets stoner metal's hazy grooves. The project channels low-end power and psychedelic atmosphere.
Wilmington, North Carolina's Hadea refuses easy classification — their death metal foundation is filtered through progressive songwriting and experimental tendencies that set them apart from more conventional genre practitioners. Since 2014, they've been one of the more intellectually restless acts in the Southeast.
New Bedford, Massachusetts's Hadean builds sprawling, emotionally heavy music at the intersection of progressive and post-metal, where texture and dynamics matter as much as riffs. Active since 2014, they bring the bleak coastal atmosphere of the South Coast into their expansive compositions.
Portland, Oregon's Hadean works in the slow, oppressive territory between doom and heavy metal, their sound as grey and overcast as the Pacific Northwest sky above their city. Formed in 2014, they lean into the weight.
Hadeon is a progressive metal/rock band from Udine, Italy, formed in 2017. They craft intricate progressive compositions with technical ambition.
Black metal project from Aachen, Germany, active since 2008. Their sound channels the raw aggression and atmospheric darkness that defines the German black metal underground.
New Jersey's Hades has one of the longer journeys in underground U.S. metal — from power and heavy metal roots to a full thrash conversion, the Paramus band traces a lineage back to the early days of East Coast extremity while remaining active through the present.
