Evokthum is a bestial war black metal project from Minas Gerais, Brazil, founded in 2024 by the duo Evokator of Storms and Tyrannic Arsenal of War.

Santa Monica's Evol play a sun-bleached, street-level brand of crossover thrash that fuses the aggression of punk with the technical punch of classic thrash metal, coming together in 2019. The coastal California setting informs their lean, driving sound — short songs, relentless energy, and a sense of urgency that owes as much to hardcore as it does to Slayer.
