Hendersonville, North Carolina's Terrorsaur have been playing heavy/thrash metal since 2009, rooted in the Appalachian foothills where a certain strain of hard, working-class metal has always thrived. They combine traditional heavy metal's melodic sense with the crunch and attack of thrash — a crowd-pleasing ferocity that doesn't sacrifice songwriting for aggression.
Coming out of the Norwalk/Whittier corridor in Los Angeles County, TerrorStorm have been running their black/thrash/speed metal assault since 2015, part of a thriving Southern California scene that has never stopped producing bands with this much raw velocity. They play with the reckless momentum of old Sodom and Bathory translated through the LA underground's obsession with analog aggression and total sonic attack.
Thrash metal band from Rio de Janeiro, formed in November 1996 by vocalist Alexandre "Chakal" and active in the underground circuit from 2001 onward. The band released two independent albums — Neurotic World (2004), which sold over 600 copies internationally, and Euthanasia (2008), distributed across Brazil, Germany, the United States, Portugal, and Italy.
