No Silence is a speed/thrash/progressive metal band from Miltenberg in Lower Franconia, active since 2001. Over two decades, the band has blended speed, thrash, and progressive metal from the medieval Main River town.
No Sobriety is a death/thrash metal band from Rambouillet, France, active since 2014. The band delivers punishing death/thrash metal from the Île-de-France region.
Out of Brookline, New Hampshire, No Thanks have been working a groove-inflected thrash metal sound since 2014 — thick mid-paced riffs punctuated by bursts of speed, with the kind of headbang-ready rhythmic sensibility that sits between Pantera's stomping groove and the classic thrash template. They represent the kind of meat-and-potatoes heavy metal that the New England underground quietly sustains year after year.
Thrash metal act from Alexandroupoli in Greece's far northeast, formed in 2020 and delivering aggressive riffing from the border region of Western Thrace. Their geographic isolation from Athens' scene lends an independent spirit to their sound.
Modena heavy/thrash metal outfit formed in 2014, delivering aggressive riffing from the heart of Emilia-Romagna's motor valley. Their dual approach draws from heavy metal's melodic power and thrash's relentless speed.
Wisconsin's Nobody — a separate entity from their Cincinnati namesake — have been working groove and thrash metal since 2018 with the straightforward muscle that both genres demand. Their sound favors the mid-paced groove over flat-out thrash velocity, building riffs with the kind of density and swing that rewards repeated listening, representing a quietly tenacious corner of the Midwest's underground metal scene.
Nocardia is a thrash metal band from Otegem in Belgium's West Flanders province, active since 2013. Named after the bacterial genus, the band brings clinical thrash metal precision to the Flemish underground.
Nocheterna is a band from Seville that evolved from thrash metal origins into symphonic heavy metal since 2014. The band's name meaning 'eternal night' guides their increasingly orchestral approach from the Andalusian capital.
Florence blackened speed/thrash metal act launched in 2023, fusing the raw velocity of speed metal with black metal's atmospheric darkness. Their incendiary approach channels multiple extreme traditions through a Renaissance city lens.
