New York's Death Corps have been channeling the aggression of classic East Coast thrash since 2019, delivering tight riff work and aggressive vocal delivery in the tradition of the tri-state underground. Their name carries the no-frills militancy their music backs up.
Death Courier is one of the earliest bands from the Greek metal scene, with roots stretching back to 1987 and demos released in the late 1980s. Their 2020 comeback album Necrotic Verses, released through Transcending Obscurity Records with the lineup of Billy Soulas, George Petousis, and Ilias Iliopoulos, was hailed by critics as an album-of-the-year contender for its pulsating, rabid death/thrash metal.
Death Cross is a heavy/thrash metal band from Torrejón de Ardoz, Spain, formed in 2017. They play fierce heavy/thrash metal from Madrid's metropolitan area.
Harrodsburg, Kentucky's Death Dealer arrived in 2023 armed with straight-ahead thrash aggression and the chip-on-shoulder energy of a band with something to prove. Their corner of rural Kentucky doesn't have much of a metal scene, which only seems to fuel their attack.
Death Decline is a thrash/death metal band from Dijon, France, formed in 2015. They deliver declining thrash/death from the Burgundian capital.
Death Defy is a death-thrash metal band from Minsk, Belarus, blending death metal brutality with thrash metal velocity across releases like the 'Portal To Immortals' EP. Their dark, skull-and-blades aesthetic matches the ferocity of their musical output.

Death Embrace is a death/thrash metal band from Leipzig, Germany, formed in 2021. They fuse death metal's brutality with thrash's aggressive precision.
