please update this band
An Antwerp crossover thrash band active from 2007 to 2013, Drunk played humor-infused, beer-soaked thrash with lyrical themes squarely anchored in drinking and thrashing. Their 2010 EP Antwerp City Thrashers... encapsulates the band's chaotic live energy and their tongue-in-cheek take on the crossover tradition.
Drunk Coon plays thrash/groove metal with crossover elements from Moscow, active since 2017. Their irreverent name drives high-energy, pit-ready compositions that merge thrash velocity with groove metal's rhythmic swagger and punk's attitude.
Drunken Corpse is a thrash metal and crossover act from Siena, blending the speed and intensity of thrash with punk's irreverence and directness. Active since 2013, their name's absurdist image of intoxicated death sets the tone for music that refuses to take itself too seriously while still hitting hard.
Dysphagy is a thrash metal and crossover act from the Zug/Aargau region of central Switzerland, active since 2009 and blending thrash's speed with punk's attitude. Their medical-term name — referring to difficulty swallowing — suits music that's deliberately hard to digest in the best possible way.
Portland, Oregon thrash and crossover band formed in 2014, Dödläge fuses d-beat's hardcore-derived rhythmic stomp with crust punk's grime and thrash metal's riff attack into an unruly but focused hybrid. Portland's fertile punk and metal underground provides the ideal foundation for this kind of genre collision.
Formed in 2025, this Warsaw Crossover Thrash outfit delivers D.R.I.-descended riffing built for circle pits and stage dives. Their place within Poland's relentlessly productive underground speaks to the depth of the region's heavy music culture.
Crossover act from Germany fusing death metal and grindcore in a chaotic sonic assault since 2025. Their approach channels the most extreme elements of each genre into a relentless, genre-defying barrage.
