Raleigh's Deceptor brings straight-ahead thrash fury to North Carolina's metal scene, built on tight rhythm work and an unambiguous devotion to the genre's golden-era template. Formed the same year as their Phoenix namesake, they've staked out their own corner of the Southeast underground.
Decibel Hammer is a thrash metal band from Tampere, Finland, active since 2013. They hammer out fierce thrash from the Finnish industrial city.
Brooklyn crossover thrash act Decider mixes the borough's hardboiled hardcore spirit with the speed and aggression of classic thrash metal — a combination that feels right at home among the sweat-soaked clubs of New York City. Founded in 2019, they deliver the goods at a tempo that leaves no room to breathe.
Decimate is a thrash metal/metalcore band from Birmingham, England, active since 2014. They deliver decimating aggression from the West Midlands.
New Jersey's Decimate Our Kind doesn't fit neatly anywhere — their experimental death/thrash framework bends and fractures in unexpected directions, treating genre conventions as a starting point rather than a destination. Founded in 2021, they're one of the Garden State underground's more genuinely unpredictable propositions.
Long Island death metal act Decimation has been delivering punishing, no-nonsense extremity from the suburbs of New York City since 2007. Rooted in the tradition of classic American death metal, they've spent nearly two decades earning their place in the underground.
Longview death/thrash act Decimation draws from the dense Pacific Northwest timber country a sound that feels appropriately crushing and blunt. Since 2007, they've operated within Washington's underrated extreme metal underground with grim determination.
Cleveland has one of America's most storied metal histories, and Decimation have been adding their chapter since 2007 with pit-ready thrash metal forged in the Rust Belt tradition. Hard-nosed and built for live destruction.
Denver's Decimation fuses thrash and death metal into high-altitude aggression, cutting through the Mile High City's increasingly diverse metal landscape with old-school directness. Active since 2007, they're a reliable pillar of Colorado's underground.
