Hath is a New Jersey-based extreme metal outfit that has rapidly ascended to the forefront of the progressive death metal scene. Formed in 2014, the band initially gained underground traction with their EP 'Hive' before releasing their breakout full-length 'Of Rot and Ruin' in 2019.
Their sound is a sophisticated synthesis of early 2000s progressive death metal (reminiscent of Opeth and Edge of Sanity) and the modern blackened aesthetic of bands like Behemoth or Sulphur Aeon. Critically, they are lauded for their ability to maintain high-fidelity production values while preserving a gritty, organic feel. Their 2022 follow-up, 'All That Was Promised,' further expanded their palette, incorporating more sludge and doom elements. Hath occupies a unique space in the metal ecosystem, appealing equally to technical death metal fans who crave complexity and atmosphere-focused listeners who value texture and emotional resonance over pure speed.
