Genetic Disorder is a death/thrash metal band from Dusseldorf, Germany, formed in 2016, delivering aggressive, riff-driven extreme metal from the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area. The band combines death metal's brutality with thrash metal's speed and precision.
Grand Rapids, Michigan's Genetic Drift bring together groove metal, thrash, and metalcore in a way that prioritizes physical impact over genre purity since 2015. Heavy enough to satisfy headbangers, structured enough to keep it from descending into chaos.
Genetic Mutation is a thrash metal/crossover band from Moray in northeast Scotland, formed in 2021. They bring crossover thrash energy to the Scottish Highlands.
Genetik Blueprint is a thrash metal band from Falkirk in central Scotland, formed in 2021. They deliver fast-paced thrash from the industrial town between Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Pelham, New York's Genghis Khan strip the approach down to straight thrash metal — fast riffs, aggressive delivery, and no detours into power metal territory — since their 2014 formation. A leaner take on the imperial name.
Gengis is a groove metal and thrash band from Quimper in Brittany, France, formed in 2018, with releases including their 2018 demo and the album Down to a Sunless Sea. Their sound channels aggressive, riff-driven thrash with the rhythmic punch of groove metal from France's Atlantic coast.
Los Angeles's Genocidal Pact play old-school-minded thrash with a ferocity that recalls the genre's early days rather than its more polished modern incarnations, active since 2012. Southern California aggression channeled through riffs that owe as much to punk as to metal.
Albuquerque's Genocide channels the hostile energy of thrash metal into tight, aggressive riffing shaped by the harsh landscape of the American Southwest. They've been grinding since 2013 with no signs of slowing.
Flint, Michigan — a city with no shortage of hard edges — gave rise to this Genocide, a band that fuses thrash velocity with death metal's pulverizing low end. The combination is as unforgiving as you'd expect from the city's industrial decay.
