Alcocide is a thrash/heavy metal band from Dayton, Ohio. Their 2024 EP "Voices of the Dead" delivers three tracks of thrash from the birthplace of aviation.
Alcohelldrugs is a raw speed/thrash and metal-punk duo from Vitória de Santo Antão, Pernambuco, formed in 2018 by brothers Thiago Xaruto and Henrique Alcoholic out of the northeastern Brazilian underground. The band released the EP "Never Stop the Madness" and the split "Hellish Alcoholic Attack" with Burial Ground, as well as the 2020 album "Infernal Metal Punk" through Murder Records, playing chaotic, lo-fi thrash punk in the tradition of Brazilian and international extremity.

Alcoholic Vortex is a thrash metal band from Brasília that has distinguished itself with a sci-fi concept running across their releases: their albums follow Warren Jackson, a headbanger abducted and drawn into an intergalactic war, forming a serialized thrash opera. The band's "Space Traumas" series — Part I: "The Alcoholic Menace" and Part II: "Attack of the Yarells" — delivered fast, aggressive riffing with high-energy solos and earned praise in both Brazilian and international metal media.
Manchester, New Hampshire thrash metal project. The portmanteau combines binge drinking with mass destruction — party thrash from the Granite State.
Alcoholocausto is a thrash metal band from Recife, Pernambuco, formed in 2019 and operating under the "Brigada Anti Posers" banner, signaling an old-school, anti-trend ethos rooted in the Brazilian thrash tradition. Their sound embraces satanic and war-themed thrash in the vein of the classic Recife underground, releasing material independently and building a local following in the northeastern Brazilian metal scene.
Alcor channels progressive thrash metal from Turin since 2016, named after a faint companion star in the Ursa Major constellation. Their celestial reference points toward the technical precision and cosmic ambition embedded in their Piedmontese thrash.
Alcotopia creates speed and thrash metal from Vilnius since 2017, their alcohol-utopia name promising the reckless energy of drunken velocity. From the Lithuanian capital, they deliver high-speed metal fueled by party-thrash spirit.
