Saint Paul's Warhead emerged in 2023 at the intersection of thrash, death metal, and crossover — a convergence zone where the pit never stops moving. They bring the raw directness of crossover's hardcore DNA to material that has genuine death metal menace buried inside it, and the result plays like a provocation aimed at anyone standing still. The Twin Cities underground has always had teeth, and Warhead are happy to use theirs.
Crushing Heavy / Groove Metal from Dallas.
Thrash/death metal band from Lecce, Italy active since 2009. Warknife brings over a decade of aggressive thrash and death metal from the heel of Italy's boot in Puglia.
Thrash and death metal band from Madrid, Spain formed in 2018. Warlamb combines the speed of thrash with death metal's brutality in a ferocious dual-genre attack from the Spanish capital.
Thrash and death metal band from Birmingham, England active since 2016. Warlord U.K. channels the industrial might of the West Midlands into aggressive thrash and death metal.
Thrash metal band from Angers, France formed in 2023. Warmachine brings fresh thrash aggression to the Loire Valley with rapid riffing and relentless energy.
Warmachine is a thrash metal band from Carlos Barbosa, Rio Grande do Sul, rooted in the aggressive, mid-1980s Brazilian thrash tradition with lyrical themes centering on war, politics, and contemporary reality. The project shares members with other Rio Grande do Sul extreme metal acts, including connections to the black metal band Patria through the vocalist known as Triumphsword. The band released a self-titled demo that drew comparisons to classic thrash acts and established their uncompromising old-school approach.
El Paso thrash veterans Warmonger have been operating since 2009, building a reputation on the border city's blend of aggression and resilience. El Paso occupies its own world in the Texas metal landscape — isolated from the Austin and Dallas hubs, forging something harder and more insular — and Warmonger's thrash reflects that character. Over fifteen years, they have become a fixture in a scene that demands durability.
Warrior Sword is a thrash metal band from Floridablanca, Colombia, tracing their roots to 2007 when they formed under the name Warrior Soul before rebranding in 2019 to establish a stronger identity. The band has shared stages with international acts including Inquisition and Enforcer, and completed tours through Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador. They released "Warrior of Death" and "Through My Blood" in 2023.
