Hailing from Košťany/Teplice in northern Bohemia, Anestesia play thrash metal with a raw, direct approach, releasing albums including Terapia and the 2022 effort Fenix. Their 2024 follow-up Azken Heriotza demonstrates the band's continued drive and consistency within the Czech thrash underground.
Anestesia was a thrash metal band from Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, formed around 1987 and active into the early 1990s as part of the first wave of Brazilian thrash. Operating out of Manaus — geographically isolated from the main São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro metal hubs — the band recorded a demo "Total Massacre" and contributed tracks to the Brazilian thrash underground, their themes centered on human and social concerns.
Anestesic is a thrash metal band from Santo Antônio de Posse, São Paulo state, Brazil, formed in 2008. Part of the continuing wave of interior São Paulo thrash acts, the band carries the aggressive, riff-driven sound rooted in the old-school Brazilian thrash tradition.
Anestesya was a thrash metal band from Garibaldi, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2004 and named as a tribute to Metallica bassist Cliff Burton, directly referencing the instrumental "Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)" from "Kill 'Em All." Blending 1980s thrash aggression with progressive and classical influences — a sound they called "Thrash/Heavy Progressive" — the band released the debut album "Cruel Fear" before eventually dissolving.
Anestezija delivers groove and thrash metal from Kikinda in Vojvodina since 1989, over three decades of activity making them one of Serbia's most enduring metal acts. Their Serbian name for 'anesthesia' has guided a career that predates the country's independence.
Anestezja channels death and thrash metal from Warsaw since 2023. Their Polish name meaning 'anaesthesia' promises the numbing intensity their capital-city extremity delivers.
Albuquerque thrash metal veterans active since 2008. Their conceptual An Infinite Winter series spans multiple volumes exploring themes of memory and mortality, while earlier releases deliver the raw thrash fury the New Mexico desert breeds so reliably.
Anesthesia of Beer is a crossover thrash band from Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, blending punk, hardcore, and extreme metal in the tradition of Brazilian crossover acts. Their discography includes the demo "Reign in Beer" (2009), the EP "The Lightning Broke My Bottle" (2012), the full-length "Altars of Drunkenness" (2017), and "My Terror Tapes" (2019), with lyrics spanning horror-film homage, beer-soaked party anthems, and sharp antifascist social criticism.
A thrash/death metal band from Kortrijk formed in 1988 whose career ran until 2000, placing them among the first generation of Belgian death and thrash hybrids. They contributed tracks to the Detonation compilation series in the early 1990s and featured various vocalists and guitarists including Frank "Liberty" Libeert before disbanding.
