Rochester Hills, Michigan's End It deliver meat-and-potatoes thrash metal with the direct energy of a band that's never chased trends and never intended to. Since 2017, they've kept things fast, aggressive, and uncompromised.
New Bedford, Massachusetts' End It All cast a wide net across melodic death, thrash, and metalcore, blending the genres with a coastal aggression that feels rooted in the Northeast's hard-nosed DIY culture. Formed in 2017, they haven't picked a lane — and it works.
Heavy/thrash metal act from Germany, combining the power of traditional metal with thrash velocity since 2015. Their name evokes the ending of an era of power, driving a sound built on commanding riffs and aggressive tempos.
Baltimore's End Reign pull from crossover thrash, metalcore, and straight-up thrash to produce something with the urgency of punk and the technical bite of metal — fitting for a city with deep hardcore roots and a battle-hardened heavy music scene.
Dallas' End Times evolved from hardcore roots into a volatile blend of death metal, thrash, and hardcore crossover — the kind of band whose evolution mirrors the city's own heavy music scene expanding outward in every direction. Formed in 2010, they've grown harder and heavier with time.
Part of Russia's sprawling, uncompromising metal landscape, this act channels progressive metal and thrash metal with a focus on labyrinthine compositions spanning multiple movements and moods. Formed in 2024, based in Moscow, the results are heavier and more inventive than the genre tag might suggest.
New Jersey thrashers formed in 2017, delivering the kind of pit-ready aggression that carries on the Garden State's underground metal tradition. Their sound favors blunt riffing and urgency over technical flash.
Fresno thrash outfit with one of metal's most deliberately confrontational names, channeling the San Joaquin Valley's working-class grit into raw, no-frills thrash since 2017. Expect speed, attitude, and zero pretense.
Groove/thrash metal band from Poitiers, France with roots stretching back to 1993. As one of the region's longest-running metal acts, they bring over three decades of heavy experience.
