Portland crossover thrash outfit serving chaotic energy since 2013. Across three EPs — including a split with Slowbro — they deliver the kind of reckless, fun-first thrash that keeps the Pacific Northwest's punk-metal intersection alive and dangerous.
Houston crossover thrash project from the Texas underground.
Active since the early 1990s in Murcia, Angel Negro played thrashcore fueled by the influence of Soziedad Alkoholika and Beer Mosh, with socially conscious lyrics delivered in Spanish. Their brief but fiery run produced demos like "Trashgüerta" and "Hombre Rico, Hombre Pobre" before the band disappeared in the mid-1990s.
Salt Lake City crossover thrash project from the Utah underground.
Atlanta crossover thrash and death metal outfit whose 2018 EP Terror Incognito delivers the kind of furious, politically charged extremity that thrives in the South's punk-metal intersection.
Corpus Christi thrash/crossover that released two albums on Metal Blade. Reformed in 2018.
Animal Farm delivers technical thrash metal with crossover elements from Naples since 2013, their Orwellian name adding political subtext to their precise, high-speed approach. From southern Italy's chaotic metropolis, they bring sardonic social commentary through thrash.
Boston crossover thrash project from the Massachusetts underground.
Denton crossover thrash project from the Texas underground.
