Los Angeles's Deliverance carry a storied legacy reactivated in 2020, blending speed metal and thrash with industrial elements in the tradition of the band's long history.

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.

Their discography includes the Kill Your Boss demo-EP (2011), the full-length Unleash the Hordes (2015), and Bound by Horror, Sealed with Blood.
