Long Island's Detriment have been thrashing since 2012, drawing on the suburban aggression and East Coast swagger that has driven New York-area metal for decades. Their music is angular and direct — thrash made by people who grew up in the shadow of New York City with plenty of frustration to channel.
Detritus is a thrash metal band from Bristol, England, formed in 2018. They deliver thrashing debris from the West Country.
Deuteron is a thrash metal band from Příbram, Czech Republic, active since 2013. They play old-school thrash with a raw, energetic approach.
Devastación is one of Argentina's longest-running death/thrash metal acts, tracing their origins to Munro, Buenos Aires Province, in 1987, and counting an early support slot for Sepultura on that band's first Argentine tour among their career highlights. Their studio output spans more than three decades, from the 1997 album Decadencia through ...Qué Lo Parió! (1999) and Resistiendo Al Engaño (2007) to Del Martín Fierro (2020), released on Disembodied Records. The current lineup of Walter Ortiz, Nicolas Oliva, Daniel Cafferata, and Horacio "Bocha" Herrera has kept the band active into the present day.
Lord Devastador is an Ecuadorian black/death metal solo project with roots stretching back to Quito in 1996, when it was active as a band before disbanding in 2000 and relaunching as a one-man outfit. The project's 2014 release "Infernal Holocaust" compiled two unreleased demos from 1998 and 2000 with remastered sound, showcasing a raw, Deathrashing Metal style sung entirely in Spanish.
Texas thrash/death metal. Underrated and vicious, part of the late-80s Texas thrash explosion.
Chicago's Devastation emerged in the late 1980s at the harder edges of the death/thrash continuum, combining the brutality beginning to emerge from the death metal underground with the technical aggression thrash was refining at the same moment. Their early Chicago recordings place them in a lineage of Midwestern extremity that continues to influence the city's scene.
Devastation A.D. is an old-school thrash and speed metal band originally from Pula, Croatia, formed in 1987 and active through various incarnations including a period as Hatross from 1990 to 1997. Their catalog spans from the 1987 demo The Upcoming Mayhem through The Possibility of Life's Destruction (1989) to their 2019 reunion material, documenting over three decades of Croatian thrash history.
Snohomish, Washington's Devastation Wagon have been rolling through the Pacific Northwest thrash underground since 2011, delivering fast-picking riff attacks with the workmanlike consistency of a band that plays because they mean it. The name suggests forward momentum above all else, and their music backs that up.
