Fanteria di Prima Linea is a thrash metal and crossover hardcore band from Udine in northeastern Italy, formed in 2019. Their releases Aggressione and Proctology deliver aggressive, politically charged thrash in the Italian language, rooted in the crossover punk tradition.
Union, New Jersey's Fantom Warior has been a thrash fixture since 2015, their intentional misspelling a nod to the genre's proudly anti-establishment spirit. Their sound is fast, guitar-forward, and built on the kind of riffs that demand a response.
