San Antonio's Executioner bring crossover thrash energy to Texas's already ferocious underground, formed in 2019 with a sound that fuses hardcore's blunt impact with thrash metal's technical aggression. Part of a city with a long tradition in extreme music, they carry that legacy forward with short, punishing songs built for pit-ready mayhem.
