Progressive Deathgroove from Chicago. Fusing suffocating atmosphere, complex rhythms, and relentless groove into a singular, punishing sound. Since their self-titled EP in 2016, HIVE has carved their own path through, evolving with each release The Mirthless Kind (2019), Exuviae (2022), and now Conduct of Flies (Nov 2025). Exuviae marked a pivotal transformation, an album that became the band’s most defining yet, amassing over 6 million streams since its release. That process of metamorphosis left behind not just a husk, but a foundation. Now, Conduct of Flies emerges from the decay. Gritty, industrial, and visceral, it channels the pulse and ferocity of Mick Gordon’s DOOM ETERNAL soundtrack while dragging HIVE’s signature sound into new, more volatile territory. It’s the sound of evolution made flesh, the buzzing aftermath of transformation, the swarm that comes once the body has split open. For fans of Mick Gordon, Lamb of God, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Chelsea Grin.
