Cedarville, Ohio's Enslaved has been grinding out thrash-inflected death metal since 1992, representing the persistence of Midwest extreme metal through decades of shifts in the underground landscape.
Enslaver is a thrash metal band originally from Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, formed in 2015 under the name Deathcurse before settling on their current name. The band relocated to Paraná and is signed to Sony Music, with lyrical themes covering death, anti-fascism, and rage.
Thrash/power metal act from Ravensburg in Upper Swabia, Germany, formed in 2022, merging thrash velocity with power metal's anthemic grandeur. Their diplomatic name contrasts with the combative intensity of their music.
Melodic thrash metal act from Homburg in the Saarland region of Germany, active since 2003. Their two-decade career reflects deep commitment to precision-driven thrash enriched with memorable melodic hooks.
Entherror is a black/thrash metal band from São Borja, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2010. The band drew on themes of Satanism, war, and anti-Christianity across their material, and released the EP "Terror That Never Ends" in 2019 through their Bandcamp page.
Anoka, Minnesota's Enthrall has been in the game since 1993, forging a thrash and groove metal hybrid that carries the rust-belt toughness of the upper Midwest — heads-down riffing, punchy rhythms, and a no-nonsense approach to heavy music.
Detroit's Entice arrived in 2024 carrying the motor city's legacy of heavy music into a heavy/thrash metal template — hard-hitting riffs and road-tested toughness baked into a city with no shortage of metalheads to answer to.
Chicago's Enticer marries power metal's soaring anthemics with thrash's aggression, a combination that has given them a distinct identity in the city's crowded metal scene since forming in 2014. Think twin guitars, big choruses, and fast picking.
Emerging from Southampton, this British act forges Progressive Metal and Thrash Metal built on genre-bending ambition that refuses easy categorization. Each release demonstrates a commitment to artistic evolution.
