Sacrifized practice black/thrash metal from Bad Segeberg in Schleswig-Holstein, bringing the northern German plains a dose of blackened thrash fury. Their aggressive hybrid channels both genres' most intense qualities.

Angelholm's Sacrilegist pair death and thrash metal from the Skane coast since 2018. Their profaner-of-sacred-things name channels systematic blasphemy into compositions of dual-genre aggression from southern Sweden.
A thrash metal project from Tenneck, Austria, Sacriles releases music through the Scribes Music Bandcamp page alongside related artists. Their approach sits firmly in old-school thrash territory, favoring direct, riff-driven songwriting with minimal production embellishment.
Thrash/death metal band from the small Bulgarian town of Berkovitsa, formed in 2024. Their aggressive hybrid channels the energy of both genres from northwestern Bulgaria's mountainous countryside.
Boston's Sacrum have spent their career since 2008 fusing death and thrash metal into something that carries the intellectual weight of New England's metal scene alongside uncompromising brutality. Their sound is precise without being sterile — angular, riff-forward death/thrash that owes as much to the Bay Area as it does to Europe's extremity.
Thrash metal band from Valinhos, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2007. The band — Felipe Polaris (guitar), Leonardo Nenezao (vocals/bass), Jao (vocals/guitar), and Miguel Rambo (drums) — released their debut demo War and Disgrace in 2008 and have remained active as an independent act in the São Paulo underground scene. Their lyrical themes address booze, war, politics, and religion.
Sad Fact deliver thrash and heavy metal from Pilsen, the Czech beer capital that has also brewed its share of aggressive music. Formed in 2024, they bring classic metal energy to the western Bohemian scene.
