Asheville's Earth Collider came together in 2019 to deliver tight, ripping speed and thrash metal from a mountain town that punches far above its weight in the underground. Expect fast riffs and no wasted space.

Highstown, New Jersey's Elegia have been delivering traditional power and speed metal since 2010, their songs built around soaring melodic ambition and the kind of riff gallop that lives somewhere between Running Wild and Riot.
When Eliminate emerged in 2011 from Recanati (Macerata), they brought with them a sound rooted in speed metal and thrash metal — all pre-thrash intensity with a melodic edge. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Phoenix's Ellefson — fronted by former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson — channels old-school thrash and speed metal energy with the authority of someone who helped define the genre in the first place.
