Shreveport's Covenant deal in groove and thrash metal with a distinctly Southern backbone, built on heavy mid-tempo riffs and muscular song structures. Their sound fits comfortably alongside the hard-hitting regional tradition of Louisiana heavy music.
Heavy-thrash metal band from Istres in Provence, France, formed in 2021. They blend classic heavy metal with thrash aggression from the Bouches-du-Rhone.
Death-thrash metal band from Zurich, Switzerland, formed in 2024. They channel pandemic-era nihilism through a punishing blend of death metal brutality and thrash metal velocity.
Santa Rosa black metal outfit channeling bleak, atmospheric menace through raw production and unrelenting hostility. Their sound is sparse and suffocating, built on repetition and cold dissonance.
Portland oddity blending power metal bombast with doom weight and grindcore aggression in ways that shouldn't work but somehow do. Their catalog is unpredictable and deliberately genre-defiant.
Thrash metal band from the Rychvald/Ostrava area of Czech Republic, formed in 2021. They bring fast, punishing thrash energy from the industrial Silesian heartland.
Groove-thrash act from Amsterdam, formed in 2017. Cozzy delivers heavy, riff-driven aggression from the Dutch capital.
Power-thrash metal band from Cologne, Germany, formed in 2024. They blend the melodic energy of power metal with thrash metal's aggressive speed from the Rhineland.
Crossover thrash band from Minsk, Belarus, active since 2012. They combine the reckless velocity of thrash metal with hardcore punk attitude in a high-energy, riff-driven attack.
