Indianapolis's Hatesong fuse black metal's cold malevolence with the scabrous energy of crust punk, resulting in a sound that's as politically charged as it is sonically punishing.
Operating out of Granbury, Texas since 2004, Hatestorm33 deal in raw, unpolished black metal with forays into dungeon synth — lo-fi and uncompromising in a way that feels deliberately removed from the mainstream.
Tennessee's Hatevøid emerged in 2025 with black metal ambitions sharp enough to cut — a new name in the void, but one already pointing toward something cold and unrelenting.
New Jersey's Hath construct progressive blackened death metal with uncommon depth and ambition, weaving labyrinthine song structures through blasts of ferocity and passages of unsettling atmosphere.
New York's Hatred Palisade build industrial black metal architecture from cold machinery and corrosive atmosphere, the electronics never softening the aggression but instead amplifying its mechanical dread.
Chicago's Haunted Knight channel melodic black metal into a sound that balances scorching intensity with dark, sweeping atmosphere, carving out a presence in the Midwest underground since 2022.
Critically acclaimed progressive black/death on Profound Lore Records. All members also play in the country band Calico Bonnet.
California's Haunter fuse black metal and punk into an abrasive and energetic hybrid, stripping both styles down to their most confrontational qualities and igniting them in the same short fuse.
Providence's Haunting Figure arrived in 2022 with black metal that carries the brooding weight you'd expect from Rhode Island's famously overcast skies — raw, isolationist, and built to linger long after the last note fades.
