New Orleans' Mimic came together in 2023 and play progressive thrash metal — a pairing that puts technical ambition inside the relentless forward motion of thrash. Their Louisiana origins don't surface in any obvious genre way, but the city's deep tradition of musical cross-pollination seems to underpin their willingness to push the thrash template toward something stranger.
Originally founded in Curitiba in the early 2000s, Minatory plays a direct strain of death/thrash with clear debts to Slayer, Death, and Obituary.

Sacramento's Mind Furnace have existed since 1992, making them one of the longer-running death/thrash acts in California's Central Valley. Decades in the underground have not softened their approach — the band continues to operate at the intersection of death metal's brutality and thrash's relentless rhythmic attack.
