Heavy/power/thrash metal band from Emmendingen near Freiburg, formed in 2015 and living up to their name with energetic, riff-driven metal that spans multiple classic subgenres. Their versatile approach pulls from power metal's grandeur, thrash's speed, and heavy metal's anthemic hooks.
Thrash metal and shred project from Nicosia, Cyprus, formed in 2016 and built on blistering guitar virtuosity and high-speed riffing. Their name says it all: maximum shred delivered through a thrash metal framework.
The Italian city of Florence serves as headquarters for this groove metal and thrash metal operation, whose arsenal includes circle-pit anthems driven by relentless double-kick propulsion. Speed and precision collide in pit-ready anthems.
Formed in 2016, this Notodden Thrash Metal outfit delivers breakneck tempos and razor-sharp riff attacks. Their place within the frozen north that birthed an entire genre speaks to the depth of the region's heavy music culture.
Tempe's Kill Command have been grinding out death-thrash since 2017, pairing mechanized riff construction with the relentless momentum of Arizona's desert-hardened metal scene. Tight, punishing, and built to destroy live.
A product of the Netherlands' punishingly heavy metal scene, this Limburg-based death metal and thrash metal act channels percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Active since 2022, low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
Kill Hill is a power/thrash metal band from the Quilmes area of Buenos Aires, Argentina, who released their self-titled debut album in 2018, recorded and mixed by Ivan Iñiguez at Absolute Studios in Berazategui. Their second full-length, Tetrinencia, followed in December 2022 — recorded at De La Wave Studios between 2021 and 2022 — and was dedicated to the memory of guitarist David Gómez.
Heavy Thrash / Death Metal / Metalcore from Lubbock.
Death/thrash/groove metal band from Bochum in the Ruhr area, formed in 2017 and fusing three aggressive metal styles into a hard-hitting blend. Their versatile approach draws from the industrial grit of western Germany's most densely populated region.
