Razor-sharp Thrash Metal / Crossover out of Texas.
Stockholm's Vometh brings crossover thrash energy to Sweden's capital, fusing hardcore punk's confrontational attitude with thrash metal's technical riffing. Their high-velocity approach channels the manic energy of classic crossover acts like D.R.I. and Suicidal Tendencies.
Von Drakus is a four-piece thrash metal/crossover/hardcore band from Gießen, Hesse, Germany, active since 2009. They fuse thrash metal's speed with hardcore punk's raw energy and confrontational spirit.
Holy Terror-style crossover thrash from Dallas.
Våld is a thrash metal/crust/crossover band from Karjaa, Finland, formed in 2025. They fuse thrash metal's speed with crust punk's raw aggression and crossover energy.
Thrash metal and crossover band from Peterborough, England active since 2015, later incorporating hardcore and punk rock elements. War Dance has evolved from pure crossover thrash into a broader hybrid of aggressive subgenres.
Thrash metal band from Belfast, Northern Ireland active since 2017, evolving from crossover thrash into grindcore and death metal territory. Wardomized has pushed their sound increasingly extreme while maintaining the aggressive energy of their crossover roots.
Saint Paul's Warhead emerged in 2023 at the intersection of thrash, death metal, and crossover — a convergence zone where the pit never stops moving. They bring the raw directness of crossover's hardcore DNA to material that has genuine death metal menace buried inside it, and the result plays like a provocation aimed at anyone standing still. The Twin Cities underground has always had teeth, and Warhead are happy to use theirs.
Portland's Wehrmacht carry a legendary name back into active service — the original Wehrmacht were crossover thrash pioneers in the 1980s, and this iteration, reforming around 2010, keeps faith with that abrasive legacy. Portland's punk and metal scenes have always coexisted productively, and Wehrmacht sit precisely at that fertile intersection, where the circle pit logic of hardcore drives metal riffs into the red. History and fury, packaged tight.
