Dead Age is a thrash/groove metal and metalcore band from Rostock, Germany, active since 2014. They combine the rhythmic weight of groove metal with thrash's speed and metalcore's modern edge.
Nashville's Dead Alive take thrash metal's velocity and load it with death metal weight, producing a hard-hitting hybrid that stands apart from the city's dominant country and rock scenes. Sharp riffing and aggressive vocals define their approach.
Dead Anatomy is a melodic death/thrash metal band from Aalborg, Denmark, formed in 2019. They combine melodic death metal hooks with thrash metal's aggressive drive.
Wilmington, Delaware's Dead and Buried lock thrash metal's forward momentum into metalcore's breakdown-heavy framework, churning out material that's equal parts pit-ready aggression and technically driven riffing.
Dead Bastards plays thrash/groove metal with crossover elements from Saint Petersburg, formed in 2022. Their defiantly crude name drives high-energy compositions that merge thrash velocity with groove metal's punch and punk's attitude.
Newport, Rhode Island's Dead Beat bring a seaside grit to Bay Area-style thrash, delivering caffeine-fueled riff attacks that feel right at home in New England's small but fierce extreme music circuit. Fast, loud, and unapologetically analog.
Pittsburgh's Dead by Dawn fuse the gory traditions of death metal with grindcore's brevity and fury — a fitting combination from a city whose industrial grit has long provided fertile ground for extreme music. Short songs, maximum punishment.
McLean, Virginia's Dead by Dawn stake their claim on fast, technically inclined thrash metal in the DC corridor, where the area's scene has quietly bred some of the East Coast's most precise riff merchants since the band's formation in 2020.
Portland's Dead Conspiracy have been mining the crossroads of death and thrash metal since 2013, producing music that feeds on the city's wet-season gloom and the genre's most ferocious impulses in equal measure.
