Death/thrash metal band from Nokia, Finland formed in 2018. They deliver crushing extreme metal from the Pirkanmaa region near Tampere.
Greensboro's Eugenic Death have been thrashing the Piedmont underground since 2012 with no-frills, riff-forward metal built on speed, hostility, and an old-school refusal to compromise. Their name and sound both pull no punches.
Sarasota's Euphoria spike their thrash metal with psychedelic undercurrents, forging a sound that rips at high velocity before dissolving into lysergic haze since 2020. Florida's swamp-heat and the Gulf Coast's strangeness both seem to seep into their chemistry.
Heavy metal and thrash band from Tolosa in the Basque Country, Spain, formed in 2024. They bring fresh thrash-infused heaviness from the Basque underground.
Venomous Black Metal out of Texas.
Death/thrash metal act from Kiel in northern Germany, formed in 2023, merging the brutality of death metal with thrash velocity. Their phobia-referencing name adds a psychological edge to their aggressive crossover sound.
A product of the tiny nation at the crossroads of Germanic and Slavic metal, this Nova Gorica-based death metal, melodic death metal, and thrash metal act channels percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Active since 2021, low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
Los Angeles progressive metal outfit Event Horizon brings the sprawling ambition of the genre to one of California's most competitive metal scenes since their 2020 formation. Their name, borrowed from the point of no return at a black hole's boundary, sets the tone for music that pursues the threshold between accessibility and the abyss.
Death/thrash metal act from Osnabruck in Lower Saxony, Germany, delivering aggressive crossover extremity since 2009. Their Latin-derived name, meaning "outcome" or "event," lends a fatalistic quality to their relentless metal.
