Venomous Atmospheric Black Metal from Fort Wayne, Indiana/San Antonio.

Seattle's Hewa arrived in 2018 with a stripped approach to black metal that suits the Pacific Northwest's damp and darkened character. Cold, deliberate, and unornamented, the project draws on the foundational grammar of the genre without borrowing its aesthetics wholesale.

Hex Crow is a heavy/speed metal power trio from Bucaramanga, Colombia, founded in late 2015 by Daniel Mantilla, Felipe Ortega, and Sebastián López, all veterans of local bands including Hatred and Perjurio. The band released their debut demo Demons, Witches & Loud Noises before issuing the full-length Forward to the Past in December 2019, a limited cassette release through Vermin Records and All For One Heavy Metal United. Their sound blends the raw power of traditional heavy metal with relentless speed metal energy.

Minneapolis thrash unit Hex Vortices arrived in 2019 with a classic approach to the genre's mechanics — locked-in riffing, forward-leaning rhythm, and vocals that spit rather than sing. Fast and unambiguous, they owe more to Bay Area forebears than to modern metal's smoothed-out edges.

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.

Los Angeles' Hexen bring melodic sophistication and progressive ambition to the thrash template, threading complex arrangements through otherwise hard-hitting material. Their approach reflects the technical tradition of the LA metal scene while reaching toward something more compositionally adventurous.
