Operating from Helsinki, this progressive/symphonic thrash metal project has been shaping menacing sound since 2011. Their compositions deliver the genre's essential fury with technical skill.
Minneapolis thrash unit Hex Vortices arrived in 2019 with a classic approach to the genre's mechanics — locked-in riffing, forward-leaning rhythm, and vocals that spit rather than sing. Fast and unambiguous, they owe more to Bay Area forebears than to modern metal's smoothed-out edges.

Hexagram is a death/thrash metal band from Batuco, in the Santiago metropolitan area of Chile. The band is unsigned and independent, with lyrical themes centered on religion, death, and slaughter.
From Saugerties, New York, Hexe Krieg weaponize the convergence of thrash, death, and speed metal into something relentlessly kinetic. Since 2012 the band has pursued a style that is as mechanically aggressive as it is single-minded in purpose.
Paris-based death metal act active since 2019. Their hallucinatory name hints at compositions that explore death metal's more disorienting corners from the French capital's thriving underground.
Los Angeles' Hexen bring melodic sophistication and progressive ambition to the thrash template, threading complex arrangements through otherwise hard-hitting material. Their approach reflects the technical tradition of the LA metal scene while reaching toward something more compositionally adventurous.
