Accelerator is a thrash metal band from West Babylon, New York. Their 2010 demo captures the raw, unpolished energy of Long Island's thrash metal underground.
Milwaukee death/doom project. The oxymoronic name — suicide cannot be accidental — creates productive unease from Beer City.
Accuracy are a groove and thrash metal band from Munich, Germany, formed in 2022, who deliver riff-heavy, rhythmically punishing metal from the heart of Bavaria. Their sound bridges the gap between thrash metal's velocity and groove metal's crushing low-end power.
Accurst merges death and thrash metal from Malmö as of 2025. Their archaic English for 'cursed' drives fresh compositions of dual-genre hostility from Sweden's third-largest city.
Accuser is a speed and thrash metal band from Arlington, Texas. With three full-lengths released between 2016 and 2020, the band delivers relentless, high-velocity thrash rooted in the classic speed metal tradition of the DFW scene.
Acerbic is a thrash metal band from the Centralia and Olympia area of Washington state. Their 2026 EP "Abhorrent Atrocities Against All Humankind" delivers six tracks of ferocious thrash metal from the Pacific Northwest.
Kent/Tacoma, Washington thrash metal project. The name — meaning sharpness or harshness — captures thrash's cutting edge from the Pacific Northwest.
Aceton thrashes from Poprad beneath the High Tatras since 2017. Named after the chemical solvent, they deliver nearly a decade of dissolving aggression from the gateway city to Slovakia's greatest mountains.
Acetylene brings explosive thrash metal from Bourg-en-Bresse since 2023, named after the volatile gas used in welding torches. Their combustible name perfectly suits the white-hot intensity of their riffing.
