Athron was a Brazilian death/thrash metal band active in the 2010s before splitting up. Playing in the aggressive tradition of Brazil's extreme metal underground, the band combined the riff-driven attack of thrash with the heavier, darker tonality of death metal.
Atom delivers thrash metal from the Breton capital of Rennes since 2013, their elemental name capturing the fundamental power at the core of their riffing. Over a decade of activity has established them within Brittany's thrash metal community.
Athens' Atomic Blast combine progressive metal ambition with thrash metal aggression, creating technically accomplished compositions that balance cerebral complexity with visceral impact. Active since 2012, they represent the more adventurous side of Greek thrash.
Atomic Blast is a thrash metal band from Parnaíba, Piauí, formed in 2012 and active in Brazil's northeast underground metal scene. Playing aggressive, riff-forward thrash in the tradition of the Brazilian thrash movement, the band has maintained a presence on regional circuits since their formation.
Orlando, Florida crossover thrash act with seven releases since 2023. The name is a statement of maximum excess, and their prolific output — including a self-titled debut and the surf-rock-referencing Beyond the Sea — delivers exactly the over-the-top chaos it promises.
Daytona Beach thrash band from Florida's racing capital, delivering speed metal at full throttle with the same reckless intensity as the Daytona 500.
Atomic Fault delivers death and thrash metal from Belgrade since 2023. Their seismic-nuclear name drives compositions of tectonic aggression from the Serbian capital, built on geological fault lines of its own.
Painesville, Ohio thrash metal act whose 2017 EP Wrath of Militaristic Barbarism delivers exactly the kind of war-obsessed thrash fury the title demands from the Lake Erie shore.
Ridgeland, South Carolina thrash band delivering paradoxically named destruction from the Lowcountry, channeling nuclear-age anxiety into aggressive speed metal.
