Hosts of Lord formed in 2020 and operate within the grimmer traditions of black metal, conjuring cold, ceremonial darkness with a militancy implied by the name itself. An act steeped in orthodox hostility.
Gainesville, Florida's Hot Graves are a swamp-rotten convergence of death metal, black metal, thrash, and crust punk, active since 2011 and sounding like something that crawled up from Florida soil. Ferocious, irreverent, and distinctly Southern in its ugliness.
Seattle's Hoth take their name from the frozen Star Wars planet, and the melodic death-black metal they've crafted since 2012 earns the reference — vast, icy, and cinematic in scope. Their music reaches for the cosmos while keeping the riffs sharp.
Cincinnati, Ohio's Howling have been pushing cold, stripped-down black metal since 2015, capturing something feral and windswept in the urban rust belt context. The city's industrial undertone seeps into every track.
Named for the Norse corpse-swallowing eagle at the edge of the world, Concord, New Hampshire's Hræsvelgr have been playing black metal steeped in heathen mythology since 2016. Their sound is as austere and uncompromising as the name suggests.
Buffalo, New York's Hubris channel a different kind of pride — the black metal variety — since 2015, operating with the bleak ferocity that the industrial ruins of western New York seem to inspire. Cold and unrelenting.
Washington state's Hulder is a solo black metal act named for the seductive forest spirits of Norse folklore, weaving atmospheric darkness with melodic intensity since 2018. Their debut earned wide acclaim for its confident grip on the second-wave tradition.
New Jersey's Humanicide blend black metal's cold fury with the d-beat pulse and social rage of crust punk, forging something that sounds like civilization finally getting what it deserves. A project as hostile to comfort as the name implies.
Filthy Black Metal from Dripping Springs.
