Manyac is a Slovak melodic-thrash metal band whose 2025 album 'Dark Philosophy' spans eleven tracks and fifty-three minutes of aggressive yet melodic metal.

A one-person DIY project blending thrash, hardcore, and grindcore with a deliberately absurdist sensibility, Marafo de Exú debuted in 2016 with the 16-track album "Diabólico Alcoólico," a chaotic slab of short, fast songs delivered with raw, lo-fi ferocity. The project also released a live recording from Destroy Music Now Fest 3, capturing the same unfiltered intensity in a live setting.
Worcester's Marauder have been delivering no-frills, hard-hitting thrash metal since 2005 — part of a New England scene that's never shied away from aggression. Their sound channels the classic thrash playbook with genuine conviction.
Marauder is a heavy/thrash metal band from the Greven/Emsdetten area of Germany, active since 2005. Their two decades of output mark them as seasoned veterans of the Münsterland metal underground, delivering a potent blend of classic heavy metal power and thrash metal velocity.
A thrash and power metal project from Sarajevo founded in 2009 by Senad Marava, the drummer of Bosnian speed/thrash cult act Bombarder, Marawa debuted with the album Gate to the Next World and later expanded into a proper band after vocalist Andrej Merkadić joined in 2011. The project bridges old-school Bosnian thrash roots with more melodic power metal structures.
