Ninemia is a progressive groove/thrash metal band from Nicosia, Cyprus, formed in 2024. The project merges progressive complexity with groove-driven thrash from the Cypriot metal underground.
Turin stoner/doom/groove metal and hard rock act formed in 2015, merging multiple heavy styles into a versatile sonic palette. Their eclectic approach draws from the riff-driven traditions of stoner, doom, and groove metal.
No Honey is a thrash/groove metal band from Zabreh in the Olomouc region, active since 2019. The band brings a sweet name to a decidedly unsweet blend of thrash aggression and groove-metal heaviness.
No Matches Found is a melodic groove/death metal band from Dresden, formed in 2025. The project brings a modern fusion of groove and melodic death metal to the Saxon capital.
New York's No More Sorry launched in 2023 sitting squarely at the intersection of groove metal's mid-paced, hip-swinging heaviness and thrash's kinetic aggression — a combination that produces riffs built for maximum physical impact. The groove/thrash hybrid has deep New York roots, and No More Sorry work that lineage with the kind of down-tuned swagger that values the weight of a riff as much as its velocity.
No Quarter Given is a thrash/groove metal band from Cornwall, UK, formed in 2023. Their sound blends the speed of thrash with the rhythmic heaviness of groove metal from England's southwestern tip.
Out of Brookline, New Hampshire, No Thanks have been working a groove-inflected thrash metal sound since 2014 — thick mid-paced riffs punctuated by bursts of speed, with the kind of headbang-ready rhythmic sensibility that sits between Pantera's stomping groove and the classic thrash template. They represent the kind of meat-and-potatoes heavy metal that the New England underground quietly sustains year after year.
Wisconsin's Nobody — a separate entity from their Cincinnati namesake — have been working groove and thrash metal since 2018 with the straightforward muscle that both genres demand. Their sound favors the mid-paced groove over flat-out thrash velocity, building riffs with the kind of density and swing that rewards repeated listening, representing a quietly tenacious corner of the Midwest's underground metal scene.
Noctiferia is a multi-genre extreme metal band from Ljubljana, Slovenia, active since 2003. With albums spanning 'Per Aspera' to 'Transnatura' across two decades, the band blends industrial metal, groove metal, and blackened death metal into a heavy, guitar-driven assault.
