Out of Montpelier, Vermont, Hell Priest sprints through speed metal with a ferocious urgency that sounds entirely at odds with the pastoral Green Mountain state. Since 2019, the band has committed fully to the genre's fastest and most reckless edge.
Kalamazoo, Michigan's Hellhole channel the sweeping melodic death metal tradition into tight, riff-driven songs that balance brutality with songcraft since 2013. Melody and violence coexist in their work without either element compromising the other.
Houston power/speed metal. James Rivera's voice is one of the great Texas metal instruments.
Philadelphia's Hessian strip the genre back to its most feral components — black metal ferocity, speed metal momentum, and the raw bite of early thrash. Since 2014 they've operated at the intersection where aggression meets velocity.
From Saugerties, New York, Hexe Krieg weaponize the convergence of thrash, death, and speed metal into something relentlessly kinetic. Since 2012 the band has pursued a style that is as mechanically aggressive as it is single-minded in purpose.
Breakneck Black / Speed Metal from Austin.
please update this band
Barrington, Illinois's Hostile have been delivering groove-laced heavy metal since 2010, fusing the punch of groove metal with the directness of traditional heavy metal. Suburban Midwest aggression with a low center of gravity.
