Dallas' End Times evolved from hardcore roots into a volatile blend of death metal, thrash, and hardcore crossover — the kind of band whose evolution mirrors the city's own heavy music scene expanding outward in every direction. Formed in 2010, they've grown harder and heavier with time.
Part of Russia's sprawling, uncompromising metal landscape, this act channels progressive metal and thrash metal with a focus on labyrinthine compositions spanning multiple movements and moods. Formed in 2024, based in Moscow, the results are heavier and more inventive than the genre tag might suggest.
New Jersey thrashers formed in 2017, delivering the kind of pit-ready aggression that carries on the Garden State's underground metal tradition. Their sound favors blunt riffing and urgency over technical flash.
Fresno thrash outfit with one of metal's most deliberately confrontational names, channeling the San Joaquin Valley's working-class grit into raw, no-frills thrash since 2017. Expect speed, attitude, and zero pretense.
Groove/thrash metal band from Poitiers, France with roots stretching back to 1993. As one of the region's longest-running metal acts, they bring over three decades of heavy experience.
Thrash metal, punk, and hardcore hybrid from Kaufering in Bavaria, Germany, blending three aggressive styles with provocative humor since 2011. Their anatomically crude German name sets the tone for an irreverent, high-energy crossover assault.
Part of Poland's relentlessly productive underground, this act channels death metal and thrash metal with a focus on labyrinthine song structures built on chromatic riff mazes. Formed in 2008, based in Wodzisław Śląski, the focus remains squarely on devastating rhythmic impact.
Atlanta's Enders Game have been sharpening their melodic thrash attack since 2003, threading tight lead work and catchy hooks through the kind of muscular riffing that defined the Southeast metal underground. Two decades in, they remain one of Georgia's most consistent acts.
Thrash metal band from Velka nad Velickou in the Czech Republic's Moravia region, delivering high-speed aggression since 2005. Their long tenure makes them a veteran presence in the Czech thrash metal underground.
