Anger Cult was a death/thrash metal band from Jaraguá do Sul, Santa Catarina, Brazil, active from 2017 until splitting up. They released an EP titled "Bringing Order Through Chaos" in 2017, delivering aggressive, riff-driven extreme metal in the tradition of Brazil's underground death-thrash scene.
Anger Machine delivers thrash and groove metal from North Holland since 2016. Their mechanical-fury name captures the relentless, engine-like quality of their rhythmically driven compositions.
Portland thrash metal act who released two albums in 2007. Their titles — Clashed by the AML and Why You Bad Soh? — carry a playful energy that counterbalances their aggressive sound, representing the Pacific Northwest's irreverent take on thrash metal.
San Jose thrash metal project from the California underground.
Ferocious Thrash / Groove Metal from San Antonio.
Leganés-based AngerSoul has been channeling death-thrash fury from Madrid's southern suburbs since 2012, delivering riff-driven aggression rooted in the classic crossover of both genres. Their sound captures the volatile energy of Spain's thriving extreme metal underground.
Corpus Christi thrash/crossover that released two albums on Metal Blade. Reformed in 2018.
Angriff thrashes from Mangualde in the Dão-Lafões region of central Portugal since 1998. Their German name meaning 'attack' drives nearly three decades of high-speed aggression from the Portuguese interior wine country.
Angry Nation are a melodic thrash/death metal band from Wiener Neustadt built around guitarist Walter Oberhofer, with contributions from members of Darkside and Wolfheart. Their albums The Fail Decade and Embracing the Collapse channel the socio-political anxiety of the 2010s into tightly constructed riffing that bridges late-80s Bay Area thrash with melodic Scandinavian death metal.
