Thunderstick from London is the project of the legendary NWOBHM drummer known for performing in a gimp mask, continuing his theatrical heavy metal legacy in a later incarnation since 2017. His distinctive persona — originally from Samson and Iron Maiden's early lineup — brings theatrical menace to classic British metal.
A Chicago, Illinois heavy metal band active since 2009, Thunderunderus have spent well over a decade honing a straightforward approach to the genre in one of the Midwest's most competitive rock and metal scenes. Their unusual name and long tenure in the Chicago underground mark them as a stubborn, uncompromising fixture of the city's heavy music community.
Formed in Austin, Texas in 2022, Thy Kingdom Scum sit at the rowdy crossroads of heavy metal, thrash, and punk, channeling a street-level aggression that owes as much to the DIY punk circuit as to the metal tradition. Metal Archives notes their punk influence explicitly, and the name itself reads like a statement of contempt for the powerful made with raised fists and distorted guitars.
