Dark Tyrants plays speed metal from Ornskoldsvik on the High Coast of northern Sweden, active since 2016. Their authoritarian name drives high-velocity compositions that rule through sheer speed and riff-driven dominance.
Portland's DarkBlack combines power metal's epic ambitions with speed metal's raw drive, a project that has been pushing high-octane riff craft since 2009 with the kind of old-school conviction that never quite fell out of fashion.
Darksky is a Milanese outfit fusing speed metal velocity with progressive metal's structural complexity, creating compositions that race forward at breakneck pace while navigating unexpected time changes and harmonic detours. Their dual-genre approach yields material that satisfies both the need for adrenaline and intellectual engagement.
Hailing from Roy, Utah, Davidian tear through the thrash and speed metal playbook with relentless aggression and tightly wound riffs. Formed in 2017, they keep the raw, unpolished energy of classic speed metal alive in an era that rarely demands it.
Daydream is a melodic power/speed metal band from Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, formed in 2018. They deliver soaring melodies and high-speed precision in the European power metal tradition.
Grants Pass, Oregon's Dead Leslie tear through speed and thrash metal with the stripped-down urgency of a small-town act with something to prove, formed in 2020 in the Rogue Valley's fringes. Fast tempos and sharp riffs are their native language.
Syracuse's Deadrider smash heavy, speed, and thrash metal together with the reckless confidence of a band that grew up on Iron Maiden and Destruction in equal measure. Since 2014, they've been one of upstate New York's harder-hitting underground exports.
New York's Death Mask have been thrashing at speed metal's outer limits since 2011, trading in velocity and iron-fisted aggression drawn straight from the NWOBHM playbook. Fast, mean, and ruthlessly concise.
Death Mission plays thrash/speed metal from Aurskog in Akershus, active since 2011 and executing their sonic objectives with military precision and velocity. Their name frames each composition as a dangerous operation from which there's no guarantee of return.
