Allentown, Pennsylvania's Dementia play thrash and speed metal with the blue-collar conviction of a region that never fully abandoned the genre's original intensity. Formed in 2013, they tap into a sound that owes as much to Overkill's East Coast crunch as it does to the classic speed metal template.
Out of Jackson, New Jersey since 2010, Demize trade in the high-octane fusion of speed and thrash metal that made the genre dangerous in the first place. Blistering tempos, razor-wire guitar work, and a reverence for the frenetic energy of early Bay Area thrash define their attack.
Demolition Train is a heavy and speed metal band from Athens, Greece, formed in 2009 by brothers Apostolis and Vasilis Korakas on guitars, drummer Nikos Niavis, and bassist Michalis Papadimitriou. Their discography includes the Kill Your Boss demo-EP (2011), the full-length Unleash the Hordes (2015), and Bound by Horror, Sealed with Blood.

The project later evolved into Outline in 2017.
Demonic Cult is a black and speed metal duo from Rhodes, Greece, formed in 2015 by guitarist-bassist Stavros and vocalist-drummer Sartor Odium. Their 2015 demo Tales from the Cult features two tracks of raw, stripped-down black thrash from the Greek island underground.
