Hammerthrone is a crushing force of old-school-influenced death metal from Austin, TX. Formed in 2025, the band's foundations were built around the punishing Swedish HM-2 chainsaw riffs of the 90s. Vocals: TJ Lewis IV Guitar: Phil King Bass: Luke Frieb Drums: Dave Revere

Hailing from Alice, deep in South Texas, Hammerwhore have been tearing up the crossover thrash and punk-metal underground since 2013 — raw, aggressive, and completely indifferent to outside approval.

Cleveland's Hammr channel the blackened speed metal of the early 1980s with a punk-soaked fury that fits perfectly in a city with a long history of no-bullshit heavy music. Active since 2018 and showing no signs of slowing.

St. Petersburg, Florida's Hanashi explore the atmospheric and depressive ends of black metal, their dense, mournful sound a striking contrast to Florida's reputation as a death metal state. Active since 2015.

Pittsburgh's Hand of Doom wrap their hardcore urgency in thrash metal riffing, a combination that makes perfect sense coming from a city that has always produced hard, no-nonsense music. Formed in 2018.

Las Vegas's Hand of Doubt slam crossover thrash, hardcore, and straight-up metal together into something that sounds like a pit fight with a soundtrack — relentless and confrontational since 2019.

San Francisco's Hand of Fire keep the Bay Area thrash tradition burning since 2017, playing tightly-wound riff-driven metal in a city that helped define the genre nearly four decades ago.

Washington State's Hand of Flauros draw their name from demonological lore, and their black metal follows suit — occult in focus, dark in atmosphere, and deliberate in its malevolence since 2023.

Brooklyn's Hand of Glory take the occult imagery suggested by their name and translate it into black metal that feels rooted in genuine darkness rather than posture. Active since 2019 in New York City's dense underground.
