Roman thrash metal veterans active since 1999, with a discography spanning the Medusa XX Legacy Edition, Chaos Machine, and In The Shadows Of Unrest alongside EPs This Is War and Dead Nation Army. Self-described as "Blood Fire Death," their output reflects over two decades of uncompromising Italian thrash.
A veteran presence in upstate New York's thrash metal scene, Gloversville's Enertia has been delivering relentless speed and technical precision since 1996. Decades of experience show in the tightness of their riffs and the controlled ferocity of their live attack.
Groove/thrash metal outfit from Alcoi, Spain formed in 2015. They deliver hard-hitting, riff-driven metal fueled by groovy rhythms and thrash aggression from the Valencian Community.
Melodic thrash metal and metalcore act from Lingen/Ems in Lower Saxony, Germany, blending harmonic precision with aggressive energy since 2014. Their approach merges the best of melodic thrash with metalcore's dynamic breakdowns.
Pennsylvania's Enfolded keeps the state's thrash metal tradition alive with a sound built on aggressive riffing and breakneck momentum since 2014. Straightforward and uncompromising, they trust the genre's fundamentals to do the work.
Richmond, Virginia's Enforced is one of contemporary thrash metal's most talked-about acts, fusing crossover punk aggression with ripping speed-thrash precision since 2017. Their hardcore-informed attack carries a raw, live-wire energy that sets them apart from throwback revivalists.
Albuquerque's Enforcer has charted an interesting evolution from heavy and power metal beginnings toward an industrial-thrash hybrid since forming in 2008. The New Mexico desert seems to have pushed them toward harsher, more mechanical territory over time.
Enforcer is a thrash and speed metal band from Santiago, Chile, formed in 2001, with early releases including the demos Violent Speed Rehearsal (2003) and A Violent Night (2006). Their debut full-length Violent Speed Assault, released in 2007 through Utterly Somber Creations, collected material composed between 2002 and 2004 and recorded in a single seven-hour session.
The Italian city of Viterbo serves as headquarters for this death metal and thrash metal operation, whose arsenal includes Florida-school brutality with modern precision. The riffs hit with blunt-force trauma, leaving no room for subtlety.
