Louisiana's Trauma blend the swinging low-end weight of groove metal into a thrash framework, giving their sound a Southern heaviness that sets them apart from the more clinical, speed-focused takes on the genre.
Denver groove and nu-metal band formed in 2022, blending down-tuned, syncopated riffing with the kind of aggressive pocket rhythms that defined the late '90s heavy scene. Their sound carries the gritty edge of Colorado's DIY metal circuit.
North Carolina groove and southern metal act formed in 2019, rooted in swampy, mid-tempo heaviness that leans on the humid weight of southern rock tradition without sacrificing the metallic punch. Their name is both boast and mission statement.
Treibstoff is a groove/thrash metal band from Dortmund, Germany, formed in 2020. Their name meaning "fuel," they deliver high-octane groove and thrash metal.
Boston thrash outfit that has been grinding since 2016, channeling the city's hardcore-adjacent intensity into straight-ahead thrash with a raw, no-nonsense delivery. Their Bandcamp handle suggests New York crossover influences feeding into their New England sound.
World War Metal from Austin featuring members of Imprecation and Morbosidad. Debut full-length Commandoccult released 2022 on Godz Ov War Productions.
Detroit's Trenchfoot have been working the fault line between groove metal and metalcore since 2011, channeling the city's blue-collar intensity into churning riffs and serrated rhythms. The name alone evokes the grinding discomfort their sound aims to deliver.
Columbus, Georgia's Trendkill formed in 2020 with a sound anchored in the crossover space between death and thrash metal, drawing equally from the surgical precision of technical death and the kinetic aggression of thrash. Their name nods to an era of metal that prized authenticity over trend-chasing.
Trepalium formed in Boismé, France in 2001, developing a death metal style inflected with groove, progressive structures, and jazz and blues elements that placed them within the eclectic wing of the French extreme metal scene. Their debut Through the Absurd (2004) was produced by Joe Duplantier of Gojira, establishing a connection to the broader French extreme metal network sometimes referred to as the Konosphere. Alchemik Clockwork of Disorder (2006) and XIII (2009) followed, each leaning further into the band's genre-blending approach. Trepalium remained active through 2024, over two decades of consistently unconventional extreme metal.
