Long Island's Silent Fury have been forging their brand of heavy/thrash metal since 2010, channeling the blunt force of classic thrash while keeping a melodic hook close enough to give the songs some staying power beyond sheer aggression.
A Columbus, Ohio thrash outfit formed in 2018, Silent Home operates squarely in the pit-ready end of the genre — tightly wound riffs and a Midwest directness that trades flashiness for forward motion.
Out of Liverpool, New York, Silent Killers have been cranking out old-school thrash since 2022 with a rehearsal-room rawness and a commitment to the genre's most aggressive underbelly — short songs, fast tempos, no filler.
Akron, Ohio's Silent Knight have spent two decades threading death, thrash, and speed metal into a cohesive whole since forming in 2005, blending the velocity of old-school speed with the darker tonality that comes from a genuine death metal foundation.
