Demophobia is a thrash/crossover band from the ABC Paulista region of São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2018. They blend the aggression of thrash and death metal with punk rock energy, singing in Portuguese, and have released two records: "Moinhos de Gastar Gente" (2019) and "Modus Operandi" (2020), both recorded at Toca do Chico Preto studio in São Bernardo do Campo.
Demoralyzer is a blackened crust-thrash band from Pilsen, Czech Republic, active since 2013 with a prolific run of releases blending punk fury with metal heaviness. Their Czech-language tracks like 'Metalomorfoza' and 'Balada Opilcova' fuse crust punk's urgency with thrash and black metal ferocity.

Santa Rosa, California's Dendra picked up crossover thrash's anarchic baton in 2019 and ran with it headlong into the pit — channeling the DIY fury of hardcore while maintaining the metallic chops that keep the riffs memorable and the neck snapping. Northern California's wine country proves it can produce something considerably more dangerous.
Denfire is a São Paulo-based thrash metal solo project launched in 2021 by a multi-instrumentalist who spent over 30 years playing in bands across Brazil and the UK. The debut EP "Riding the Winds of Death" (2021), recorded at Dual Noise Studios in São Paulo, delivers an old-school blend of thrash, death, and heavy metal, followed by the full-length album "Rise Up".
Tacoma, Washington's Denial of Life emerged in 2019 at the hard-boiled intersection of thrash and crossover, channeling the Pacific Northwest's storied punk-metal underground into something caustic and pit-ready. Their sound carries the working-class aggression of Tacoma's industrial waterfront — raw, fast, and free of pretension.
Denounce is a death/thrash metal band from Gravesend, England, active since 2014. They deliver denouncing death/thrash from the Thames estuary.
