Indianapolis, IN · 2016–present · active
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.
San Antonio, TX · 2015–present · active
Short-lived black/thrash n roll in the vein of Destroyer 666, Midnight, and Bathory. Active 2014-2016.
Portland, OR · 2001–present · active
Portland's Hellshock have spent over two decades hammering out a vicious blend of crust punk, death metal, and thrash — a trifecta of filth that hits like a pipe wrench wrapped in barbed wire. Since 2001, they've remained one of the Pacific Northwest's most reliably punishing acts.
Memphis, TN · 2017–present · active
Memphis's HellThrasher collide black metal, death metal, and crust punk into a grimy, feral hybrid since 2017 — the kind of music that sounds like it was recorded in a condemned building and means every second of it. Southern heat filtered through pitch-black nihilism.
Mission, TX · 2019–present · active
Black Metal Punk from South Tejas conceived by Noelia Garza. Signed to Hells Headbangers Records. Debut album The Ancient Gaping Mouth released 2025.
Gainesville, FL · 2011–present · active
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.
NJ · 2026–present · active
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.
