Progressive/thrash metal band from Saint-Etienne, active since 2016 and merging progressive complexity with thrash's aggressive velocity. Their corrosion-derived name suggests the deterioration and decay at the heart of their sound.
Thrash metal/crossover band from Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands, formed in 2019 and delivering high-energy thrash from the volcanic Atlantic archipelago. Their corrosion-themed name matches the abrasive, eating intensity of their sound.
Miercurea Ciuc, Romania — death metal and thrash metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2010, they deal in percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
Korsakov is a crossover/thrash metal band from Alumínio, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2011 and active in the Brazilian underground scene. Drawing on social and political themes — alongside the more irreverent staples of corruption, violence, and rock 'n' roll — the band has released records including Radiation Exposure and Unique Remains. Their sound sits firmly in the beer-soaked, pit-ready tradition of Brazilian crossover.
Thrash/nu-metal/crossover band from Errenteria in the Basque Country, active since 2011 and blending three distinct heavy styles. Their eclectic genre-mixing creates an unpredictable, high-energy sound rooted in the Basque underground.
Korvak is a thrash metal band from Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil, formed in 2019 and signed to NoSlip Records. Influenced by old-school death and thrash of the 1980s and early 1990s, the band draws lyrical themes from occultism and social criticism. Their 2023 full-length Chapter II — World's Duality stands as their most developed release, recorded across multiple studios and featuring twelve tracks of aggressive, riff-driven thrash.
Thrash metal band from Kouvola in southeastern Finland, active since 2014 and delivering a decade of high-speed aggression. Their percussive name matches the relentless, hammering energy of their thrash.
Heavy/thrash metal band from Bressuire in western France, formed in 2023 and delivering aggressive compositions from the Deux-Sevres department. Their coup d'etat name signals the revolutionary intensity of their metal.
Death/thrash metal band from Valkeala in southeastern Finland, formed in 2019 and fusing death metal's brutality with thrash's velocity. Their Finnish name meaning "claw" captures the predatory intensity of their sound.
