Death Assault is a death/thrash metal band from Trier, Germany, formed in 2022. They attack with a vicious blend of death metal heaviness and thrash metal speed.
Los Angeles's Death Axiom take the death/thrash hybrid seriously, building tightly structured compositions that honor both traditions without collapsing into mere pastiche since 2016. Sharp, aggressive, and technically grounded.
Atlanta's Death Beast attack from the black/thrash crossroads with feral intensity and zero interest in restraint since 2018. Their music carries the confrontational heat of the South's underground metal scene at its most unfiltered.
Formed in Portland in 2023, Death Before Dishonor bring a militaristic thrash metal attack tempered with RAC-influenced aggression. Raw, fast, and uncompromising, they carry the torch for old-school Pacific Northwest thrash.
