Rochester's Hallucination Realized play grindcore with the frantic urgency the format demands — short, explosive, and loud enough to rattle teeth. Part of a small but active upstate New York extreme underground since 2018.
Boston's Hallucivore arrived in 2025 fusing black and death metal in the tradition of the American underground — caustic, hostile, and pulling no punches. New England has a long black metal history, and this is a promising entry into it.
New York's Hallux carve out a sludge/doom sound built on weight and repetition — riffs that settle in and refuse to leave, tempos that drag the listener through the muck. Formed in 2018, location unspecified, but the music speaks clearly enough.
Atlanta's Halmos have been dragging riffs through the Georgia heat since 2012, fusing the molasses weight of sludge metal with the hazy warmth of stoner grooves. Their sound sits in the slow, crushing pocket where feedback meets sweat.
Born out of rural Pennsylvania in 2022, Halo of Flesh deal in raw black metal and noise — corrosive, lo-fi, and deliberately hostile. There is nothing polished about what they do, and that is entirely the point.
Out of Concord, New Hampshire, Halo Pus strip black metal down to its most primitive bones — cold riffs, hissing production, and an atmosphere that feels like winter on a dead road. Raw and uncompromising since 2020.
Nashville's Halo Theory launched in 2023 blending the fist-pumping lift of power metal with the neck-snapping drive of groove, a combination that sounds right at home in a city that takes its heavy music seriously.
Fresh out of Asheville, North Carolina, Halogi arrived in 2025 flying the flag for soaring power metal in a city more often associated with folk and psych. Expect big riffs, bigger choruses, and the mountain air to carry them.
Fort Worth's Halopent have been running death and thrash together since 2018, sharpening the collision into something lean and punishing. Texas grit runs through every riff.
