Los Angeles thrash act unleashing reckless energy since 2021. Their debut EP Hybrid Dreams delivers exactly what the name promises — unpolished, savage riffing with zero pretension and maximum velocity.
Ambcrave delivers melodic thrash metal from Oslo since 2024, a recent addition to the Norwegian capital's diverse metal landscape. Their portmanteau name suggests an insatiable hunger for ambiguity channeled through thrash metal's direct aggression.
Missouri crossover act blending hardcore punk energy with thrash metal velocity. Split between Springfield and Columbia, they carry the DIY spirit of the Midwest punk underground into heavier territory.
Ambivalentt is a groove and thrash metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2018. The band released a self-titled EP in April 2018, drawing on the city's rich tradition of crossover and groove-inflected thrash. São Paulo's dense metal underground has long been a hotbed for thrash acts pushing toward heavier and more rhythmically aggressive territory, and Ambivalentt fits squarely within that lineage.
Ambivalenz is a thrash metal band from Witten, Germany, formed in 2020, delivering the aggressive riffing and relentless energy that define the genre in its German heartland. Based in the Ruhr area, the band draws from the rich thrash metal legacy of the region that produced some of the genre's most iconic acts.
Ambryo fuses death metal, melodic death metal, metalcore, and thrash metal from Paris since 2014, casting a wide net across the extreme metal spectrum. Their embryonic name suggests a constantly evolving project that has not yet reached its final form.
Passaic, New Jersey power metal project. The name promises surprise attack through melodic force from north Jersey.
Levittown, Long Island thrash metal project. Three-letter intensity from the New York suburbs.
Amebix merged crust punk with thrash metal from the Devon town of Tavistock, becoming one of the most influential bands in the UK crust punk movement. Their amoeba-inspired name suits a band that constantly evolved and adapted across their career.
