Scraper deliver thrash metal from Marl in North Rhine-Westphalia, channeling old-school velocity and aggression from the northern Ruhr area. Active since 2012, they've been grinding through the Westphalian thrash scene for over a decade.
Scratched Surface blend death metal, thrash, and metalcore from Goppingen in Baden-Wurttemberg, creating a versatile extreme sound that draws from multiple aggressive genres. Their Swabian output bridges the gap between old-school extremity and modern heaviness.
Scream from Within deliver thrash metal from Schlehdorf in the Bavarian Alps, proving that aggressive metal can emerge from even the most picturesque Alpine settings. Active since 2014, they bring mountain-forged velocity to the German thrash scene.
Thrash metal band from Castanhal, Pará, formed in February 2008 by vocalist Thiago Leal, guitarist Ariel Casimiro, bassist Júnior Mattos, and drummer Claudio Camões. The band later expanded to a quintet with the addition of second guitarist Murilo Master, and released a self-titled EP in February 2011, recorded at Vertigo Studio in Belém — the release was featured in the Garage Demos section of Roadie Crew magazine that May.
Scream of Silence deliver thrash metal and crossover from the Occitanie town of Montauban, combining aggressive velocity with punk energy. Active since 2018, they bring paradoxical silent-screaming intensity to the southwestern French scene.
Domodossola's Screamer merge black and thrash metal from the Alpine border town near Switzerland since 2011. Their mountainous, northern Piedmontese setting naturally informs a sound of cold, aggressive intensity.
