B on Reason is a heavy/thrash metal band from Pernambuco, Brazil, formed in 2021. The project spans multiple releases including albums titled The Mission, Endless Siege, and The Empire of Lost Souls, carving out a self-described universe of metal, game, and multimedia content. Their sound sits in the classic heavy metal and thrash tradition rooted in the Northeast Brazilian underground.
A Maine-based act weaving together death metal brutality, melodic death metal leads, and thrash aggression, B-Rex-Tron has been active since 2021 and represents the cross-genre sensibility of the contemporary underground.

Komsomolsk-on-Amur-based thrash metal act active since 2008, delivering riff-driven aggression rooted in the genre's foundational principles of speed, precision, and relentless energy. Their material channels the spirit of 1980s thrash through a Russian filter.

Castelfiorentino (Florence)-based death/thrash metal act active since 2017, fusing death metal's guttural intensity with thrash's riff-driven velocity and rhythmic precision. Their high-energy approach delivers the heaviness of death metal married to thrash's urgent momentum.
Allentown, Pennsylvania's B.O.T. stepped into the thrash underground in 2023, carrying on the Lehigh Valley's working-class metal tradition with the no-frills riff-forward intensity the genre demands.
South Carolina black metal act Baasthyrian was active in the early 2010s, releasing a self-titled EP and the single Womb Evacuation before going silent — a brief but uncompromising entry in the region's underground black metal history.
Baba de Sheeva is a thrash/crossover band from Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil, bringing the fast and irreverent spirit of the genre to the Central-West metal scene. Formed with themes revolving around life, religion, drinking, and weed, the band released the CD-R É Triste O Destino Da Maioria Dos Homens in 2011 and has remained an active presence in the Goiânia underground. Their sound blends the aggression of old-school thrash with the punk energy of crossover.
