Methuen, MA · 2012–present · active
Hailing from Methuen, Massachusetts, this Hatchet have been carving out death metal since 2012 with surgical economy. Their approach draws on classic East Coast extremity — dense, technically precise, and uninterested in compromise.
Edwardsburg, MI · 2011–present · active
Edwardsburg, Michigan's Haunted House play traditional heavy metal with a conviction born of small-town determination, honouring the classic sounds with a directness that larger scenes sometimes lose.
Los Angeles · 2018–present · active
Los Angeles heavy/power metal act Haven draw on the anthemic tradition of the genre, pairing muscular riffs with melodic vocal hooks that aim for the epic. Formed in 2018, the band channels the sweeping ambition of classic power metal into a contemporary package.
NJ · 2018–present · active
New Jersey's Haven traffic in the soaring melodic hooks and driving rhythm section that define heavy/power metal, carrying forward a tradition of earnest, full-throated metal forged since 2018. There's a guileless energy to their sound that recalls the genre's wide-eyed NWOBHM-influenced roots.

Chicago, IL · 2023–present · active
Chicago's Havron are a newly minted heavy metal outfit (2023) with an ear for the traditional side of the genre — big guitars, driving rhythms, and songwriting that values clarity and impact. They enter a city with a deep metal legacy and seem intent on adding to it.
Chicago, IL · 2011–present · active
Chicago's Hay Perro occupy the scrappy intersection of heavy metal and punk rock, a loose and energetic hybrid that's been a fixture of the city's underground scene since 2011. Their bilingual name hints at a community and identity outside the genre's standard demographic.
