Mass Turbation is a thrash metal and crossover band from Schweinfurt, Germany, active since 2016. Their sound evolved from pure thrash metal roots into crossover territory, blending thrash's speed with punk's raw energy from the Franconian underground.
Mass Turbo is a thrash/hardcore band from Modica, Sicily, Italy, blending 1980s hardcore and American crossover influences. Their 2017 debut EP 'The Wrestler' delivers a 'five-songs blast full of rage, irony and shitty attitude,' followed by a self-titled EP after a seven-year hiatus.
Massacra formed in France in 1986 and became one of their country's most significant early death metal bands, releasing the debut full-length Final Holocaust in 1990 through Shark Records after a series of influential demos. Enjoy the Violence (1991) and Signs of the Decline (1992) secured their reputation within the European death/thrash underground, before the band shifted toward a heavier groove-oriented thrash approach on later records. Their story ended tragically when guitarist Fred Duval died of skin cancer in June 1997 at age 29, effectively dissolving the band.
Massacre of the Megafauna is a stoner, thrash metal, and metalcore band from Sheffield, England, formed in 2010. They deliver a chaotic blend of stoner metal, thrash, and metalcore from the Steel City.
Oshkosh, Wisconsin's Massakist have been delivering vicious thrash metal since 2011, an unlikely Midwestern outpost for a genre that typically claims coastal origins. Their sound is direct, fast, and completely indifferent to geography.
Massakre is a pioneering thrash and death metal band from Santiago, Chile, founded in 1985 by Yanko Tólic, who built the project out of earlier garage bands Sepulcro and Embrión. Influenced by Celtic Frost, Slayer, and Hellhammer, they were among the first speed and thrash metal acts in Chile and Latin America, releasing their debut album Massacre in 1989 and continuing through Psychotic Redemption (2001) and Crematorium (2005). The band is also noted for their early adoption of corpse paint in a thrash metal context, a practice later imitated widely across the scene.
Massive Demolition is a thrash metal band from the Memmingen area of Germany, whose 2016 rehearsal-room live recording captures four tracks of raw, aggressive thrash metal energy. Their unpolished sound emphasizes the visceral power of thrash metal in its most direct form.
Massive Pain is a Greek thrash metal act formed in 2019, delivering aggressive, riff-driven compositions. The band channels the raw energy of classic thrash into the Hellenic underground.
Mastdarm is a DSBM (depressive suicidal black metal) duo from Saxony, Germany, formed in 2019 by vocalist Sykdom and guitarist Krankus. Their releases "Crown of Thorns" and "Burn Kill Destroy" channel the anguished, harrowing atmosphere that defines the depressive black metal subgenre.
