Evilrazor is a thrash metal band from Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The five-piece outfit — featuring members performing under names such as Felipe Desintegratör, Renato Misfits, and Fred Witchunter — plays aggressive old-school thrash and released the demo "Be Prepared… for the Real Holocaust" as an early statement of intent.
Heavy metal and thrash band from Spain, formed in 2018. They deliver raw, uncompromising metal with a speed-driven edge.
Ukrainian black metal and thrash metal act, active since 2015 delivering dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice. Rooted in one of Eastern Europe's most resilient metal scenes, atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.
On the warpath since 2014, this Gdańsk Thrash Metal outfit delivers crossover-tinged fury with punk's directness and metal's complexity. Their place within Poland's relentlessly productive underground speaks to the depth of the region's heavy music culture.
Black, death, and thrash metal band from London, England formed in 2019. They deliver a ferocious blend of extreme metal subgenres from the British capital.
A product of Italy's deep-rooted extreme metal underground, this Brescia-based death metal and thrash metal act channels punishing grooves interlocked with frenzied tremolo passages. Active since 2012, primal ferocity drives every note of their catalog.
Houston's Evokation are a thrash metal outfit forged in 2016 with a clear debt to the old-school Bay Area and Teutonic traditions, filtered through the Texas heat. They traffic in fast, riff-forward aggression with shouted vocals and breakneck tempos that keep the spirit of classic thrash alive in the Bayou City underground.
Santa Monica's Evol play a sun-bleached, street-level brand of crossover thrash that fuses the aggression of punk with the technical punch of classic thrash metal, coming together in 2019. The coastal California setting informs their lean, driving sound — short songs, relentless energy, and a sense of urgency that owes as much to hardcore as it does to Slayer.
Thrash metal band from Olette in the French Pyrenees, active since 2011. They deliver high-energy thrash from the remote mountain villages of Catalonia.
