Rotenburg's Project Thunderbolt fires on all cylinders with a heavy-groove-thrash hybrid since 2014. Their Lower Saxon base and electrifying name promise high-voltage metal that hits with the force their moniker demands.
Operating out of Limassol since 2014, Project: Oblivion combines the melodic intricacy of Scandinavian melodeath with thrash metal's rhythmic drive. As one of Cyprus's few extreme metal exports, they represent the island's small but passionate underground scene.
From the highland town of Havlíčkův Brod, Projekt-X has been delivering no-nonsense thrash metal since 2014. Their Vysočina region origins place them in the rural heart of the Czech Republic, far from the scene's metropolitan centers.
Projeto Pancada is a crossover trio formed by veterans of the Santa Catarina underground, including members of Homem Lixo and Rhestus. Their debut album "Caos Geral" (2021) blends thrash riffs with hardcore aggression and sardonic Portuguese-language lyrics aimed squarely at pandemic-era Brazil.
Power and thrash metal band from Dartford, England, formed in 2014, delivering energetic power-thrash from the Kent commuter belt. They bring anthemic metal fury to the southeastern English underground.
Port Angeles, Washington's Prolapser throw thrash metal, grindcore, and powerviolence into a blender and hit the highest setting, producing something chaotic, loud, and deliberately excessive. Formed in 2019, the band embraces the collision of tempos and intensities that comes from inhabiting multiple aggressive subgenres at once, moving from blastbeat ferocity to thrash stomp without warning. They're a characteristically irreverent and unruly presence from the Pacific Northwest's rugged underground.
Out of Oswego, New York — a small city on Lake Ontario far removed from any major metal hub — Prometheon have been forging death/thrash metal since 2014. Their sound sits at the crossroads where surgical thrash riffing collides with the downtuned brutality of death metal, the kind of regional underground band that thrives on grit over polish.
A very recent entry from Franklin, Kentucky, Propaganda Machine formed in 2024 and hit the ground running with a groove/thrash attack that owes as much to mid-period Pantera as it does to the riff-first mentality of classic Bay Area thrash. The band's name signals the confrontational, politically charged energy that tends to run beneath the surface of their style.
Thrash and death metal band from Lipetsk, Russia, formed in 2010, spinning thrash-death aggression from central Russia for over fifteen years. They bring relentless rotational energy to the Russian underground.
