The project of guitarist and vocalist Tiago Torres, a veteran of the Brazilian scene through his work with Mad Dragzter, No More Death channels the fury of Metallica, Slayer, and early Sepultura into a decidedly spiritual framework, with lyrics drawn from the Book of Revelation. Their debut album "The Death is Dead," released in 2025 on Roxx Records and co-produced with Demis Kohler, delivers eight relentless tracks that treat thrash as a vehicle for Christian apocalyptic storytelling.
New York's No More Sorry launched in 2023 sitting squarely at the intersection of groove metal's mid-paced, hip-swinging heaviness and thrash's kinetic aggression — a combination that produces riffs built for maximum physical impact. The groove/thrash hybrid has deep New York roots, and No More Sorry work that lineage with the kind of down-tuned swagger that values the weight of a riff as much as its velocity.
Skalica thrash/death metal act launched in 2024, delivering aggressive riffing from the western Slovak wine region near the Czech border. Their dual-genre assault channels relentless extremity.
