Hailing from Tolyatti in Russia, this crossover/thrash metal outfit channels aggressive energy since 2015. Their compositions deliver the genre's essential fury with technical skill.
Long Beach's Half Breed play thrash with a crossover edge — the kind of pit-friendly aggression that owes as much to hardcore as it does to Exodus or Slayer. Formed in 2013, they're a reliable presence in Southern California's underground.
Portland's Hammered Grunts have been a fixture of the Pacific Northwest's crossover scene since 2012, smashing thrash and hardcore together with the anarchic energy of a backyard show that ran way too long.
Hailing from Alice, deep in South Texas, Hammerwhore have been tearing up the crossover thrash and punk-metal underground since 2013 — raw, aggressive, and completely indifferent to outside approval.
Las Vegas's Hand of Doubt slam crossover thrash, hardcore, and straight-up metal together into something that sounds like a pit fight with a soundtrack — relentless and confrontational since 2019.
Thrash crossover act from the Catalan town of Roda de Ter, newly formed in 2025. Their primate-themed name suits a raw, energetic approach blending thrash metal velocity with hardcore punk attitude.
Boston's Hara Kiri bring the crossover thrash tradition to one of America's great punk cities, their tightly coiled songs drawing equally from the ferocity of hardcore and the technical aggression of thrash since 2017.
Hailing from Scotland in United Kingdom, this thrash metal/crossover outfit channels aggressive energy since 2021. Their compositions deliver the genre's essential fury with technical skill.
Crossover/grindcore/thrash metal band from Torrelavega, Spain, active since 2014. Their volatile fusion of crossover punk, grindcore brevity, and thrash speed erupts from the Cantabrian coast.
