Their 2019 EP "Horrors From Aeons Past", released on Corpse Torture Records, drew praise for keeping a pure blackened thrash sound anchored by chilling black metal vocals over a driving thrash framework.
Black Vomit is a blackened thrash metal band from Maceió, Alagoas, Brazil, formed in 2010 and active as an independent act. The band draws on the raw, aggressive sound of Brazilian extreme metal tradition, fusing black metal atmosphere with thrash speed and aggression.

Diabolic Force is a blackened thrash metal power trio from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, drawing comparisons to first-wave acts like Venom, Bulldozer, and Motörhead with a raw, Satanic aesthetic. The band released their debut full-length "March to Calvary" in 2009, followed by "Praise of Satan" in 2017 through Hells Headbangers Records. Their sound blends blackened death and thrash metal with anti-Christian and occult themes.
Martyrdöd formed in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2001, operating at the intersection of Scandinavian d-beat crust punk and blackened thrash metal, drawing on Anti Cimex, Totalitär, and Bathory as primary influences. The band released a string of albums through Southern Lord Records—including Paranoia (2012), Elddop (2014), and List (2016)—before signing to Century Media for Hexhammaren (2019). Their ability to embed melodic hooks and atmospheric darkness into otherwise brutal crust frameworks has sustained critical attention across nearly twenty-five years of activity.
Nocturnal Force channel early blackened thrash with an occult edge across three releases — A Touch of Evil (2016), Invocation of Morbid Power (2017), and The Kingdom of Hatred (2023) — the last a seven-track self-release featuring songs like "Forças de Satã (Guerras Profanas)" and "Cryptic Invocation." The band is primarily the work of Nahemoth on vocals, drums, and guitars, with Kellaborn contributing bass.
