Agressor is a heavy and power metal band from New York City. With four releases between 2018 and 2021 — including the full-lengths "Medieval Rites" and "Neverending Destiny" — the band plays classic-styled power metal with an epic, medieval flair.
Thrash metal band from Macaé, Rio de Janeiro, with roots tracing back to a veteran act of the same name founded in 1982 in that city — one of Brazil's earliest thrash outfits. The band recorded demo tapes including 'Destruição Metálica' (1986) and 'Kill or Die' (1988, later reissued on vinyl), singing in Portuguese with hardcore-influenced vocals over raw thrash riffs before disbanding and eventually reconvening.
Budapest's Agresszor emerged in 2023 carrying the raw, unpolished fury of old-school thrash metal into Hungary's capital city. Their debut material channels the reckless velocity and gang-shout energy of the genre's 1980s golden era.
Agrezor is a thrash metal band from Los Angeles. Their 2023 output includes the EP "Death to Earth" alongside a reissued 2008 demo, connecting the band's present-day thrash to over a decade of underground activity.
Agrophobia merges crossover and thrash metal from Latina, the Pontine Marshes city south of Rome, since 2017. Their name — a play on the fear of open spaces — contrasts with the wide-open aggression of their punk-infused thrash.
Ahínco is a progressive death and thrash metal band from Mar del Plata, Argentina, active since 2013 with a lineup anchored by Lucho Alippi on bass, vocals, keyboards, and synths, Hernan Chave on guitar, and Ariel Sanchez on drums. Their prolific Bandcamp catalog includes releases such as La Canción de los Sepulcros (2020) and Quem Deus vult perdere, prius dementat (2021), the latter recorded at UC Dadson studio in Mar del Plata and mixing atmospheric depth with technical intensity. The band's work spans Spanish-language lyrical themes with a compositional range that draws on both death metal aggression and progressive architecture.
Aimless Death are a death-thrash metal band from Kulmbach, Germany, active since 2018, whose releases include the Mountains of Madness album and a self-titled EP. Operating from Upper Franconia's brewing heartland, they deliver Lovecraft-inspired extreme metal with the directness their name implies.
Chicago thrash metal project. The name promises aerial bombardment through Windy City speed metal.
Originally one of Finland's most popular thrash acts in the late 1980s, Airdash opened for Anthrax, Suicidal Tendencies, and Kreator at the height of their career. Often called "the little brother of Stone," they were a defining force in Finnish thrash before disbanding, and their recent reunion signals renewed interest in their legacy.
