Virginia's Human Corpse Abuse arrived in 2022 as a death-grind outfit with a name designed to offend and music calibrated to match — short blasts of putrid brutality with no decorative ambitions whatsoever.
Fresh out of Chicago in 2025, Human Disgust bring a city-worn contempt to straightforward death metal with the kind of focused venom that only a scene as competitive as Chicago can produce. Early and already mean.
Human Misery is a deathgrind band formed in 2021 in Piedecuesta, Colombia. The band released the demo Corrosión del orden in 2022 followed by the demo Torned Apart in 2023, and appeared on the split compilation Grindcore (Isn't) Mediocre in 2024.
New Jersey's Humanicide blend black metal's cold fury with the d-beat pulse and social rage of crust punk, forging something that sounds like civilization finally getting what it deserves. A project as hostile to comfort as the name implies.
New York's Humanity Falls have been dissecting death metal and grindcore through an experimental lens since 2009, treating tempo, structure, and brutality as variables rather than constants. Technical, disorienting, and genuinely unsettling.
Filthy Black Metal from Dripping Springs.
New York's Hung take the melodic and progressive side of death metal seriously, building dense, shifting compositions since 2014 that reward repeated listens. Technically ambitious without losing sight of the riff.
Santa Cruz, California's Hunger have been serving up groove-driven thrash with a coastal menace since 2020, built on mid-paced pocket grooves and riff momentum that pulls like an undertow. Thrash by way of the Pacific.
Scorching Black Metal from El Paso.
Enter the Inferno
