Rochester, New York's Moment of Truth play crossover thrash with a tight, pit-ready intensity, fusing the speed of thrash with the confrontational energy of hardcore since 2010.
Los Angeles crossover act Momentum have been tearing through the city's underground since 2006, blending hardcore's rabid urgency with thrash metal's precision into a lean, relentless assault.
Mondocane is a crossover/thrash metal act from Catania in Sicily, taking their name from the Italian expression for 'terrible world.' The band delivers fast, aggressive crossover from the shadow of Mount Etna.
Monos is a thrash metal and crossover act from the Catalan town of Roda de Ter, formed in 2025. The band brings the manic energy of crossover thrash to a small town setting, merging hardcore punk aggression with metal riffing.
Snoqualmie, Washington's Monster Blood are a hyperactive collision of crossover thrash, grindcore, power metal, and powerviolence — a chaotic, tongue-in-cheek band that refuses to settle into any single lane since forming in 2015.
Beaver Dam, Wisconsin's Monument formed in 2021 and play crossover thrash with small-town urgency — fast, stripped-down, and indebted equally to hardcore punk's aggression and thrash metal's technical edge.
Morbid Joke is a provocative crossover thrash and grindcore outfit from Rauma, Finland, self-described as 'True Finnish Anti-Music' driven by total disgust towards modern music. Their catalog includes releases like 'Fuck The Mainstream, Here's Morbid Joke' and 'The Disgusting Perversions Of The Bourgeoisie,' delivering intentionally abrasive and confrontational sonic assaults.
San Francisco crossover/thrash band formed in 2021, bringing the Bay Area's storied thrash lineage into collision with punk-tinged crossover energy. A newer entry into a city that practically invented the genre, they inherit that tradition while keeping the tempos and attitude firmly street-level.
San Antonio crossover thrash band Morta, formed in 2021, channel the pit-ready aggression of hardcore punk into a thrash metal framework that keeps the energy volatile and the tempos punishing. They're part of a healthy wave of Texas acts reclaiming the crossover sound with serious conviction.
