Spokane, Washington death/thrash project. Eastern European-flavored extremity from the Inland Empire.
Amnistia is a thrash metal band from Itabuna, Bahia, Brazil, representing the northeastern corner of the country's thrash underground. The band plays aggressive, no-frills thrash with a regional identity that separates them from the São Paulo-centric thrash wave that produced acts like Sepultura and Ratos de Porão. Itabuna, a city in the interior of Bahia, has a small but dedicated metal scene, and Amnistia has been an active presence in it since their formation.
El Paso, Texas metalcore and thrash project named after the Anthrax album. Border city aggression paying tribute to Big Four legacy.
Amonicide was a thrash metal band from Brasília, Brazil, active from 2019 until their split-up. Hailing from the Brazilian capital — a city with a smaller but dedicated underground metal scene compared to São Paulo or Belo Horizonte — they operated as an independent act within the country's thrash tradition.
Fort Worth thrash metal act delivering horror-themed aggression since 2010. Their EP Horror in the Flesh channels the Texas heat into relentless riffing with a slasher-film aesthetic, keeping the DFW thrash tradition alive.
Amorphead combines death and thrash metal from Catanzaro, the capital of Calabria perched on a narrow isthmus between two seas, since 2011. Their shapeless name captures the fluid aggression of their dual-genre approach from deep southern Italy.
Amphigory merges death, thrash, and heavy metal from Eggenfelden in Lower Bavaria since 2020. Named after the literary term for a deliberately nonsensical composition, they bring a playful chaos to their triple-genre approach from rural Bavaria.
Amraam channels thrash and groove metal from Rome since 2015, named after the advanced medium-range air-to-air missile. Their military-hardware identity drives a sound of targeted, high-velocity destruction from the Italian capital.
Fort Lee, New Jersey thrash metal act active since 2011. Their debut Out of the Box and the remastered Pitamaha II showcase a band drawing from global thrash traditions, with the remaster suggesting a commitment to refining their craft over the long haul.
