New Hampshire thrash band Epicenter have been generating seismic riffage out of Pelham since 2014, drawing from the genre's classic template without softening its edges. Their approach is straightforward in the best sense — four musicians locked in and swinging hard.
Thrash metal band from Marseille, France formed in 2022. They deliver high-velocity thrash from France's Mediterranean port city.
Epidemik is a thrash metal band from Cartago, Costa Rica, formed in 2011 and signed to GrimmDistribution. The three-piece draws on old-school thrash influences rooted in war and societal themes, with a lineup of drums/vocals, bass/vocals, and guitars. Their recorded output includes the self-titled demo and the subsequent release V!rus Outbreak.
Prague-based metal act that evolved from heavy metal origins into thrash metal territory since 2016. Their stylistic shift reflects a natural progression toward faster, more aggressive songwriting from the Czech capital.
Part of Italy's underrated but thriving metal community, this act channels death metal, metalcore, and thrash metal with a focus on labyrinthine song structures built on chromatic riff mazes. Formed in 2016, based in Bassano del Grappa (Vicenza), the focus remains squarely on devastating rhythmic impact.
Folk/heavy/thrash metal act from Monheim am Rhein, Germany, weaving folk elements into a thrash and heavy metal framework since 2021. Their genre-crossing approach creates a unique blend of traditional melodies and aggressive metal.
