Scars Remain play thrash, death, and groove metal from Amberg in the Upper Palatinate, blending multiple aggressive styles into a versatile, heavy sound. Their Bavarian output channels the energy of all three genres without being confined to any single one.
Scartribe deliver thrash metal from Siegen in North Rhine-Westphalia, cutting through with sharp riffing and aggressive energy. Active since 2015, they represent the ongoing strength of German thrash.
Scarve have been forging industrial death/thrash metal from the Lorraine capital of Nancy, combining mechanical textures with aggressive extremity. Active since 2020, they bring industrial-belt intensity to the eastern French scene.
All-female thrash metal band from Rio de Janeiro, founded in 2004 by guitarist Julia Pombo and bassist Cíntia Ventania. Vocalist Angélica Burns joined in 2007, and the band released the five-track demo Keep Thrashing! before recording their debut full-length Take the Risk in 2017 with a new vocalist credited as O Lenhador (The Lumberjack).
Champaign, Illinois's Scathe work the intersection of heavy, groove, and thrash metal — a power trio approach built on thick midrange riffs, driving rhythms, and the kind of blue-collar intensity that characterizes the Illinois college-town underground. Formed in 2015, they share only a name (and possibly a Bandcamp handle) with their Pennsylvania counterpart, carving out their own identity through sheer riff tonnage.
Scathing deliver thrash metal from Biel under their Feverland Phantasmagoria banner, channeling old-school aggression with a modern Swiss edge. Formed in 2023, they bring fresh energy to the thrash revival scene.
Scaveng'ours deliver heavy, speed, and thrash metal from Paris, combining classic metal foundations with breakneck velocity. Active since 2016, they bring scavenging intensity to the French capital's traditional metal scene.
Chicago's Scepter have been refining their thrash metal craft since 2019, contributing to the Windy City's robust and historically significant heavy metal underground. The band draws from the classic thrash tradition — tight, aggressive riffwork, punishing tempos, and the kind of no-frills songwriting that connects them to the genre's foundational years.
Catania's Schizo pair black and thrash metal from Sicily's volcanic east coast since 2005. Two decades beneath Mount Etna have forged a sound of explosive, unpredictable intensity.
