Mushroom Cloud is a melodic death and thrash metal band from Aarhus, Denmark, formed in 2019. They fuse melodic death metal's Scandinavian influence with thrash metal's aggressive momentum.
A supergroup side project drawing members from Sepultura, Threat, and Nitrominds, Musica Diablo united Sepultura frontman Derrick Green with guitarists André NM and André Curci for a pure old-school crossover thrash assault.

Must Kill is a thrash/death metal act from Milton Keynes, delivering aggressive extremity since 2020. The band channels the new town's unexpected underground energy into ripping, high-velocity compositions.
Tampa, Florida's Must Not Kill draw from thrash metal's aggression, metalcore's melodic bite, and groove metal's hip-swinging heaviness to construct a modern extreme sound with broad appeal. Formed in 2015, they represent the Tampa Bay area's continued tradition of productive metal hybridization.
Mustaphorius play the kind of no-frills crossover thrash that worships at the altar of hardcore punk and late-1980s speed metal, with an irreverent streak that runs through their track titles and stagecraft. The band put out the EP "Bebidas e Mosh" in 2015 and returned in 2023 with their full-length "Homem Horrível", cementing their place in Curitiba's underground extreme scene.
Hailing from Herten in the Ruhr area, Musty Guts pairs death and thrash metal with a visceral, old-school approach to extremity. Active since 2018, the band channels the industrial heritage of their surroundings into grinding, aggressive compositions.
Mutagenocide is a power, groove, and thrash metal band from Oxford, England, formed in 2012. They blend power metal's energy with groove and thrash metal's aggression.
