Thrash metal band from Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais, formed in 2014. Their debut full-length Give Him Your Soul was released in 2015 through a joint effort between Eternal Hatred Records, Black Legion Productions, and Rising Records.
San Diego's Sergulath fuse orchestral grandeur with the raw edge of black and thrash metal, building a symphonic black/thrash sound that sets them apart in Southern California's scene since their 2018 formation.
Formed in 2025 out of Gilroy, California, Serpent and the Sun drive a groove-heavy thrash metal sound rooted in riff-forward aggression and thick rhythmic punch — a brand-new presence in the Bay Area's deep-rooted thrash tradition.
Los Angeles death/thrash outfit Serpentance formed in 2019 and channel the old-school ferocity of both genres — tightly wound riffs, barked vocals, and the kind of no-frills brutality that keeps the Southern California underground honest.
Out of Arbuckle in rural Northern California, Serpentera have been delivering death/thrash metal since 2018 — a two-genre hybrid that puts the pedal down on aggression and channels the raw energy of both traditions into a compact, punishing sound.
Serpentor is a thrash metal band from Rafael Castillo in the greater Buenos Aires area whose discography spans six releases, including the albums Poseido (2004), Final Sangriento (2007), Privación Ilegítima de la Libertad (2009), and Legiones (2015). Over their career they shared stages with international acts including Megadeth, Overkill, Testament, Destruction, and Sodom, with vocalist Guillermo Romero and bassist Pablo Lescano among their longtime members.
San Diego's Serpentyne draw from three directions at once — progressive, thrash, and power metal — resulting in a dynamic, melodically rich hybrid that has been sharpening its edge in Southern California's metal scene since 2018.
Servator deliver death/thrash metal from Helmstedt on the former Inner German Border, channeling aggressive extremity from a town once divided between East and West. Active since 2010, their border-town origins lend a particular edge to their dual-genre attack.
Saint Petersburg's Seven Iron Kicks pair groove and thrash metal from the cultural capital since 2015. Their name of metallic violence and imperial-city origins channel counted percussive impacts into rhythmically aggressive compositions.
