Raleigh's Hellrazor have been sharpening their thrash attack since 2011, delivering the kind of no-frills neck-wrecking riffs that could only come from a band with something to prove in the American South's underrated metal underground. Fast, lean, and built to destroy.
Black/thrash metal maniacs from Innviertel, Austria, self-described as playing in 'Bastard Mode' since their formation in 2007. Their releases Funeral, Skull Metal, and a split with Tulsa Razor Doom deliver relentless, beer-fueled blackened thrash.
Thrash/death metal band from Burgas, Bulgaria, active since 2012, known for heavy sound, tempo changes, fast guitar solos, and raw vocals. From early demos like The Face Of Death through The Roots Of Violence, they deliver aggressive Eastern European thrash with modern influences.
Hellriders is a progressive/thrash metal band from Cesena, Italy, active since 2019 and delivering aggressive, riff-driven thrash with relentless intensity. The project channels the speed and fury of the genre.

Portland's Hellshock have spent over two decades hammering out a vicious blend of crust punk, death metal, and thrash — a trifecta of filth that hits like a pipe wrench wrapped in barbed wire. Since 2001, they've remained one of the Pacific Northwest's most reliably punishing acts.
HellSick is a thrash metal/crossover/crust band from Netherlands, active since 2021 and fusing the aggression of thrash metal with hardcore punk's raw energy and attitude. The project delivers high-octane crossover fury.
Hellsound is a thrash metal band from Metepec, State of Mexico, formed in 2019. The band released a demo in 2021 before issuing their debut full-length, My Omen Sounds Like Hell, in 2024. They operate as an independent act and address themes of politics, religion, and social criticism.
