Amarillo, Texas's Hubris have been bringing metalcore's emotional intensity to the Texas Panhandle since 2015, where the flat horizon and punishing wind seem to breed a certain grim determination. Melodic but never soft.
Buffalo, New York's Hubris channel a different kind of pride — the black metal variety — since 2015, operating with the bleak ferocity that the industrial ruins of western New York seem to inspire. Cold and unrelenting.
Washington state's Hulder is a solo black metal act named for the seductive forest spirits of Norse folklore, weaving atmospheric darkness with melodic intensity since 2018. Their debut earned wide acclaim for its confident grip on the second-wave tradition.
Mankato, Minnesota's Human Bashing have been delivering brutal death metal with unambiguous intent since 2014. Technically punishing and lyrically unsparing, they lean into the genre's most extreme traditions with earnest conviction.
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.
