Out of Longview, Texas, Monthra have been fusing groove and thrash metal since 2017 with the kind of knuckle-dragging momentum and snapping riff patterns that fit the East Texas industrial corridor they come from.
San Jose's Montra formed in 2011 and blend groove metal and thrash with a hardcore backbone, bringing the Bay Area's deep punk and metal cross-pollination tradition to bear on aggressive, pit-ready material.
Beaver Dam, Wisconsin's Monument formed in 2021 and play crossover thrash with small-town urgency — fast, stripped-down, and indebted equally to hardcore punk's aggression and thrash metal's technical edge.
Oklahoma City's Monument started out in power metal territory before shifting into a more aggressive death/thrash hybrid, reflecting the kind of restless evolution that has defined the band across their existence since 2021.
Monumentor is a thrash and speed metal band from Siegen, Germany, formed in 2021. They channel the velocity and aggression of classic speed and thrash metal into ferocious modern compositions.
Moodswyng is a Stamford, Connecticut outfit blending old-school heavy metal muscle with thrash-driven aggression since 2016. Their sound sits squarely in the tradition of classic American metal, channeling the energy of the genre's formative years into a modern context.
Moon Command is a Minneapolis progressive thrash outfit formed in 2015, threading the rhythmic complexity of progressive metal through the aggression and speed of thrash. The result is technically demanding but driven by the forward momentum that defines the thrash tradition.
Mooncalf is a Raytown, Missouri technical thrash metal band formed in 2018, applying the genre's intricate fretboard demands to a foundation of relentless aggression. Technical thrash is a narrow lane and Mooncalf occupy it with evident ambition.
Mooncreature is a Rhode Island band formed in 2012 that runs thrash and black metal through a punk filter, producing something rawer and more aggressive than either genre alone. The punk influence keeps their sound energetic and unpretentious, closer to a rehearsal room than a recording studio.
