Cincinnati's Eisen Geist fuses black metal's malevolence with the propulsive, reckless energy of thrash, a combination the band has been honing since 2019. The result is nasty, fast, and shot through with a distinctly Germanic grimness.
Heavy/thrash metal band from Kaufbeuren in Bavaria, Germany, forging powerful, riff-driven metal since 2012. Their German name, meaning "iron hewer," captures the forceful, hammering quality of their traditional metal sound.
Burlington, Vermont's Ejaculatör has been delivering a nasty amalgam of black, thrash, and death metal since 2020, the umlaut signaling a dedication to filthy excess across all three traditions. Raw, fast, and gloriously crude.
Death/thrash metal band from France, active since 2014. They deliver fierce, riff-driven extreme metal from the French underground.
Ekphora is a thrash and groove metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2020 by Thiago Soares and Gustavo Camargo, both veterans of the local extreme metal scene. The band released their debut album Sofrimento Final in November 2020, a five-track independent record with apocalyptic lyrical themes.
Thrash/power metal and metalcore band from Russia formed in 2022, blending thrash and power metal's energy with metalcore's breakdown-heavy aggression into an eclectic hybrid.
Minneapolis thrash act Eldergaad has been running through the genre's playbook with conviction since 2011 — fast riffs, aggressive rhythms, and the city's underground credibility behind them. Straight-ahead thrash with no detours.
When Eldprov emerged in 2020 from Gällivare, they brought with them a sound rooted in black metal, death metal, and thrash metal — all frigid atmospherics and razor-wire guitar tone. Blast beats and shrieked vocals create an impenetrable wall of darkness.
Dallas thrashers Eldritch Rite deal in the occult end of thrash metal — tight, aggressive riffs with a ritualistic menace running through everything they do since forming in 2013.
