Chicago crossover thrash project. Another entry in the city's seemingly bottomless well of punk-metal hybrid acts.
Arma X fires crossover thrash from Madrid with the aggression and urgency their weaponized name implies, blending punk energy with thrash precision since 2017. Their sound bridges the gap between Madrid's thrash revival and its enduring hardcore punk tradition.
New Orleans hardcore punk and thrash supergroup formed in 2008, featuring members of Eyehategod, Superjoint Ritual, and other NOLA heavy hitters. Their self-titled debut distills the Crescent City's legendary underground into short, violent blasts of crossover fury.
Cardiff crossover thrash outfit Asidhara hit like a wrecking ball, blending hardcore punk urgency with razor-sharp thrash riffs and gang vocals. Since 2019, they've brought a distinctly Welsh ferocity to the UK's growing crossover scene.
Cleveland crossover thrash and sludge outfit arriving in 2025 with three releases including the wildly titled Balkan Night Fever. The incorporation of Romica Puceanu — a legendary Romanian singer — into their sound suggests a genuinely original fusion of Eastern European music and American sludge.
College Station, Texas crossover thrash act with two releases since 2010. Operating from Texas A&M's college town with a name that refuses to be taken seriously, they channel DIY punk energy through heavy, unpretentious crossover.
New York City crossover thrash band bringing Bay Area-meets-East Coast aggression to the five boroughs, delivering pit-ready fury with hardcore punk attitude.
Pasadena/La Porte, Texas crossover thrash act whose 2011 EP Blood, Sweat, and Beers captures the DIY spirit of Houston-area punk-metal. The title tells you everything about their priorities.
Orlando, Florida crossover thrash act with seven releases since 2023. The name is a statement of maximum excess, and their prolific output — including a self-titled debut and the surf-rock-referencing Beyond the Sea — delivers exactly the over-the-top chaos it promises.
Enter the Inferno
