Hazarder is a doom/sludge metal band from Zagreb (early); Barcelona, Croatia, formed in 2013. They channel crushing sludge-doom through abrasive riffs and oppressive weight.
Thrash Metal outfit rooted in Istanbul, channeling dark underground intensity since 2023. Pit-starting riffs and furious tempos characterize their thrash approach.
Minneapolis stoner/doom outfit Haze Gazer emerged in 2021 with a sound that splits the difference between desert-baked fuzz rock and proper doom metal weight, its slow tempos and thick atmosphere shaped by the long, dark Minnesota winters as much as any California sun. The result is northern heavy psych at its most enveloping.
Baltimore's Haze Mage conjure stoner/doom with a genuine sorcerer's patience — unhurried riffs stack over glacial rhythms while the vocals drift through the fog. Active since 2017, they're part of a vibrant Maryland heavy scene that has long punched above its weight.
Haze of Summer is a melodic black/post-metal band from Podolsk, Russia, formed in 2017. They craft atmospheric melodic black metal with sweeping melodies and emotional depth.
Melodic heavy metal/hard rock act from Pinto, Spain, with remarkably early origins dating to 1961. Their extraordinary longevity makes them one of the oldest active metal-adjacent acts in all of Europe.
Hazelwyrm is a black metal/dungeon synth project from Rotterdam, Netherlands, active since 2024 and forging dark, aggressive extremity within the Netherlands black metal scene. The project channels the unrelenting intensity of the genre.
Thrash metal/crossover band from Aargau, Switzerland, active since 2017. Their high-energy blend of thrash metal speed and crossover punk attitude delivers the kind of pit-ready intensity that keeps the Swiss thrash scene alive.
Operating from Stockholm, this stoner/doom metal/rock project has been shaping harsh sound since 2017. Slow, deliberate riffing and suffocating atmospheres form the foundation of their craft.
