Whittier, California's Exmortus occupy a singular niche — neoclassical leads draped over technical thrash and death metal architecture, a style that demands as much from the fingers as from the throat. Since reforming their lineup in 2014, they've refined a sound where Baroque counterpoint and Bay Area-style aggression are treated as equally valid weapons.
Progressive metal and thrash band from Finland, active since 2012. They blend technical progressive complexity with thrash metal aggression.
Thrash metal band from Valencia, Spain formed in 2020. They bring sharp-edged thrash riffing to Valencia's Mediterranean metal scene.
Heavy/thrash metal act from Dortmund in Germany's Ruhr Valley, merging traditional metal power with thrash velocity since 2016. Their biblical exodus-referencing name lends epic scope to their powerful, riff-driven compositions.
Thrash metal band from Chard, England formed in 2021. They deliver riff-driven thrash from the Somerset countryside.
Death/thrash metal band from Madrid, Spain active since 2012. They deliver fierce, extreme metal from the heart of the Spanish capital.
Tampa's Exorcism Wounds evolved from raw black metal into a black/speed/thrash hybrid since forming in 2021, with the Florida city's long legacy of extreme metal clearly shaping their increasingly aggressive trajectory. The shift toward speed and thrash has sharpened their sound into something fiercer and more kinetic.
Exorcismo is a thrash metal band from Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, rooted in the old-school 80s style of bands like Sepultura, Vio-lence, and Dark Angel. The band released their debut full-length "Exorcise and Steal" in 2018 through Narcoleptica Productions, a ten-track record that includes a cover of Attomica's "Deathraiser."
When Exorcist emerged in 2021 from Warsaw, they brought with them a sound rooted in death metal and thrash metal — all punishing grooves interlocked with frenzied tremolo passages. Primal ferocity drives every note of their catalog.
