San Antonio's Hate Collider have been smashing death and thrash metal together since 2014, generating the kind of impact the name suggests. South Texas aggression runs through their approach, drawing from a city with a long history of extreme music.
Minneapolis's Hate for Humanity channel black metal's malevolent atmosphere through a thrash metal chassis since 2020, the result a cold and aggressive hybrid with the speed of the latter and the contempt of the former.
Chicago's Hate Force have been dealing death metal from the city's hard-edged underground since 2014. Straightforward in their mission, they favor dense, grinding execution over experimentation — Midwestern death metal with industrial-city backbone.
Allentown, Pennsylvania's Hate Machine bring a straightforward thrash metal attack with blue-collar Lehigh Valley sensibility since 2021. Aggressive without frills, rooted in the no-nonsense side of the genre.
Detroit's Hate Unbound pull from death, thrash, and groove metal simultaneously since 2015, creating a thick, multi-layered attack built for the floor of a club. The Motor City's working-class aggression runs through every downpicked riff.
Flushing, Ohio's HateDriven have been delivering groove-infused thrash since 2016, combining the latter's riff aggression with the former's locked-in rhythmic punch. Rust Belt no-nonsense is baked into every locked groove.
Madison, Wisconsin's Hatefuel run on pure adrenaline and aggression, channeling the classic thrash tradition into a sound built for whiplash and fist-pumping fury since 2019.
Hattiesburg's Hateslave mangle death metal, thrash, and punk into a gritty, aggressive hybrid that sounds like Mississippi resentment distilled into riffs — raw, confrontational, and unbothered since 2022.
Tinton Falls, New Jersey's Hatred Embraced fuse death and thrash into a hybrid that honours both traditions, hitting hard with technical riffing and a menace that's been sharpened since 2021.
