Delyria is a death and thrash metal band from Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy, formed in 2017. The project merges death metal's brutality with thrash metal's velocity in an aggressive Tuscan extreme metal combination.
St. Augustine's Demasguts hit the ground running in 2024, deploying a three-way collision of thrash, death metal, and hardcore that wastes no time on pleasantries. Their Florida roots come through in the swampy aggression — old-school meat-and-bones songwriting from a young band that clearly grew up on the classics.
Demencia is a thrash metal band from Iquique, Tarapacá, Chile, tracing its roots to the mid-1990s hardcore act Kaníbal Kañero before evolving toward a sound shaped by Kreator, Destruction, Dark Angel, and Obituary. The band released several demos culminating in the full-length MetalDistortion in 2008 on Agresor Records, after which they entered an extended hiatus.

Demental is a thrash metal band from Brighton, England, active since 2013. They deliver demented thrash from the Sussex coast.
Demente is a thrash metal band from La Linea de la Concepcion on the southern tip of Spain, formed in 2023 and delivering riff-heavy aggression from the shadow of Gibraltar. Their Spanish name — meaning "demented" — captures the unhinged energy of their thrash attack.
Allentown, Pennsylvania's Dementia play thrash and speed metal with the blue-collar conviction of a region that never fully abandoned the genre's original intensity. Formed in 2013, they tap into a sound that owes as much to Overkill's East Coast crunch as it does to the classic speed metal template.
Youngstown, Ohio's Dementia bring a rust belt toughness to straight-ahead thrash metal, a city with a long tradition of hard-edged underground music. Formed in 2013, they deliver the genre's core promise without frills — aggressive riffing, pummeling drums, and a no-nonsense approach to extremity.
San Francisco's Dementia operate out of one of American thrash metal's most storied cities, where the genre was forged in clubs and rehearsal spaces in the early 1980s. Formed in 2013, they carry that lineage forward with a direct approach to thrash that honors the city's foundational influence on the genre.
