Entherror is a black/thrash metal band from São Borja, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2010. The band drew on themes of Satanism, war, and anti-Christianity across their material, and released the EP "Terror That Never Ends" in 2019 through their Bandcamp page.
Anoka, Minnesota's Enthrall has been in the game since 1993, forging a thrash and groove metal hybrid that carries the rust-belt toughness of the upper Midwest — heads-down riffing, punchy rhythms, and a no-nonsense approach to heavy music.
Detroit's Entice arrived in 2024 carrying the motor city's legacy of heavy music into a heavy/thrash metal template — hard-hitting riffs and road-tested toughness baked into a city with no shortage of metalheads to answer to.
Chicago's Enticer marries power metal's soaring anthemics with thrash's aggression, a combination that has given them a distinct identity in the city's crowded metal scene since forming in 2014. Think twin guitars, big choruses, and fast picking.
Emerging from Southampton, this British act forges Progressive Metal and Thrash Metal built on genre-bending ambition that refuses easy categorization. Each release demonstrates a commitment to artistic evolution.
Vicious Thrash Metal out of Texas.
Death/thrash metal act from the historic Rhine city of Speyer, Germany, delivering aggressive crossover extremity since 2011. Their approach fuses death metal's guttural heaviness with thrash metal's high-speed precision.
Portland's Entoxikutioner inject thrash metal with a potent dose of punk aggression, forming a crossover hybrid since 2015 that is fast, filthy, and uninterested in nuance — the kind of band that makes small venue shows feel genuinely dangerous.
St. Louis thrash act Entranced has been grinding out aggressive, no-frills thrash metal since 2021, carrying the city's working-class metal tradition into sharp, precise riffwork and a no-mercy attitude toward tempo. The Gateway City's underground doesn't soften edges.
