Lexington, Kentucky's Skullcap formed in 2016 at the crossroads of thrash metal and metalcore, bringing a Southern-state edge to a sound that fuses the rhythmic aggression of hardcore-influenced metalcore with thrash's love of velocity.
A California crossover act active since 2015, Skullcrack sit at the volatile intersection of thrash metal, hardcore, and straight-up crossover — short, fast, and built for the pit, with an HC-first mentality that keeps the music leaning aggressive and raw.
Skulldriver deliver groove and thrash metal from the Swedish-speaking Finnish town of Liljendal, combining rhythmic heaviness with thrash velocity. Active since 2017, they bring skull-driving force to the Ostrobothnia scene.

Death/thrash metal band from Osasco, São Paulo, operating under the name Metargon from 1985 to 1987 before adopting the Skullkrusher name. Active from 1987 to 1994 and reformed in 2015, the band recorded a debut album at Estúdio J.G. in Belo Horizonte in March 1992 that was never officially released.
Skullmasher is a death-thrash metal band from Campana, Buenos Aires province, Argentina, operating as an independent act since their formation in 2013. The band released "Death Follows Your Steps" in January 2013 and followed it with two releases in June 2015: "Human Slaughterhouse" and "Wrath of the Fallen Gods." Their music blends death and thrash metal elements with black metal influences, placing them within Argentina's underground extreme metal scene.
Portland, Oregon's SkullMaster emerged in 2020 playing a hybrid of black, heavy, and thrash metal that carries the reckless energy of the Pacific Northwest underground. Their sound pulls from classic thrash aggression while threading in black metal atmospherics and traditional heavy metal songcraft.
Philadelphia's Skullovich formed in 2023 to play the kind of fast, lean thrash and speed metal that cities like their own helped define decades ago. Their approach is unambiguous — riffs built for momentum, solos built for impact, with no detours into modern subgenre territory.
