Blacksburg, Virginia's Gnarwolf channel the raw aggression of crossover thrash through a vicious, no-frills lens. Since 2017, they've refined a feral style that owes as much to hardcore hardcore as it does to classic thrash.

Grand Master Krang is a crossover thrash band from Angers, France, formed in late 2017 and fueled by 1980s and 1990s thrash metal and hardcore punk with a pop culture edge.

Santa Maria, California's Grave Command barrel through thrash, black metal, and crossover with tactical precision, treating genre boundaries as obstacles to be overrun. Their 2018 formation has produced a project as combative as it is purposefully chaotic.
